Evaluation of the Contribution of Low-pressure Intra-abdominal Insufflation for Laparoscopic Colic Resection

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Colonic Disease
Interventions
Procedure: Conventional pressure laparoscopy
Procedure: Low pressure laparoscopy
Registration Number
NCT04112654
Lead Sponsor
Institut Paoli-Calmettes
Brief Summary

The laparoscopic surgery requires gas insufflation in the peritoneal cavity and the operator chooses the intraabdominal insufflation pressure. In general, during a conventional laparoscopy, this pressure is 12 to 15 mmHg. The reduction of the intra-abdominal pressure minimizes the parietal trauma due to the insufflation and could lead to a reduction of the postoperative pains and could allow an earlier recovery. In this study, the investigator propose to evaluate the benefits of a low pressure insufflation (6-8 mmHg) with pressure-controlled insufflator in patients with a mild or malignant colon pathology requiring surgical colic resection. The main objective of the study is to demonstrate that the laparoscopic colic resection at low pressure reduces the theoretical hospital stay of one day compared to the conventional laparoscopy.
