Filter by:Light Endoscopic Robot evaluation in abdominal and urological laparoscopic surgery : surgery with surgeon and robot (REL group = new treatment) versus surgery with surgeon and assistant (AO group - standard treatment) Primary outcome measure : Number of useful hands (light endoscopic robot = one useful mechanical hand)
The purpose of the study was the comparative assessment of the influence of low and standard pressure CO2 pneumoperitoneum on the systemic inflammatory and angiogenic responses during the postoperative period after laparoscopic management of cholelithiasis.
The Minimally Invasive Surgery Team (MIST) are establishing a separate research database to find out more about patient's undergoing minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic , open and robot assisted) procedures at UCSD. The hope is that collection of this information will give physicians a better knowledge and understanding of the benefits of minimally invasive surgery and possibly assist physicians to better manage future patients.
During laparoscopy, administration of cold and dry carbon dioxide (CO2) leads to hypothermia. Different types of gas conditioning have been studied in order to prevent this specific hypothermia. Intra-abdominal administration of local anesthetics has also been studied in order to prevent post-operative pain. In both cases, some results have been described. The investigators propose to evaluate in a prospective, randomized, double blind trial, the impact of 4 different types of conditioning of insufflated gas during laparoscopy for womb surgery on hypothermia prevention and post-operative pain. These 4 types of gas conditioning are: - CO2 wet and cold with nebulized Nacl and direct intra-abdominal administration of Nacl - CO2 wet and cold with nebulized ropivacaïne 0.75% and direct intra-abdominal administration of Nacl - CO2 dry and cold with direct intra-abdominal administration of ropivacaïne 0.2% - CO2 dry and cold with direct intra-abdominal administration of Nacl The investigators use a new device (Aeroneb® Pro [Aerogen® Company]) which can wet (by nebulization) the insufflated gas and therefore permits intraperitoneal medicament administration (local anesthetics).
To assess the potential benefits on mechanical ventilation plateau pressure of pressure controlled mode versus volume controlled mode for laparoscopic bariatric surgery in obese patients (BMI > 35). High plateau pressures encountered in obese patients due to their reduced pulmonary compliance could be lowered using pressure controlled mechanical ventilation.
This study evaluates a system of remote supervision of laparoscopic surgery. Laparoscopic surgery is performed through small holes in the abdomen called ports. A camera is passed through one port for visualization. Laparoscopic surgery requires an assistant to hold the camera and help the operating surgeon view the surgical field. The assistant camera holder may be a surgeon or a robotic arm. The robotic arm is usually controlled by the operating surgeon. In this study, a robotic arm holding the camera will be used, and will be controlled by a surgeon outside the operating room.
