Objective: To compare perioperative and oncologic surgical outcomes during laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) performed by standard carbon dioxide insufflation, with those from surgeries in which the AirSeal® intelligent insufflation system was used for renal tumors. Materials and methods: A total of 27 patients with renal tumor were identified, 14 underwent LPN with AirSeal® (group A) and 13 LPN with standard insufflator (group B), respectively. Demographic baseline characteristics were similar in the two groups. Results: The size of the tumor was largest in group B (29.64 vs. 32.1 mm). The mean operative time was shorter in the AirSeal® group [group A: mean 109.0 min, median 107.5 min, interquartile range (IQR) 85; group B: mean 121.0 min, median 120.0 min, IQR 50.0]. Positive margin rates were absent in the two groups. Estimated blood loss presented a difference in the perioperative period (group A: mean 1.5 g/dL, median 1.45 g/dL; group B: mean 2.15 g/dL, median 2.2 g/dL). Time to ischemia was found to be shorter in group A with a median of 18 min compared to a median of 20 min in group B. No subcutaneous emphysema, pneumothorax, and pneumomediastinum cases occurred in either group. A postoperative complication developed in one patient requiring superselective embolization. Conclusion: In selected patients, our preliminary surgical experience has shown that the LPN procedure performed with the aid of the AirSeal® intelligent insufflation system can be used to treat even medium-/high-complexity kidney lesions, with a reduction in operating times, lower rates of complications, and perioperative blood loss.

Abstract
Objective: To compare perioperative and oncologic surgical outcomes during laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) performed by standard carbon dioxide insufflation, with those from surgeries in which the AirSeal® intelligent insufflation system was used for renal tumors. Materials and methods: A total of 27 patients with renal tumor were identified, 14 underwent LPN with AirSeal® (group A) and 13 LPN with standard insufflator (group B), respectively. Demographic baseline characteristics were similar in the two groups. Results: The size of the tumor was largest in group B (29.64 vs. 32.1 mm). The mean operative time was shorter in the AirSeal® group [group A: mean 109.0 min, median 107.5 min, interquartile range (IQR) 85; group B: mean 121.0 min, median 120.0 min, IQR 50.0]. Positive margin rates were absent in the two groups. Estimated blood loss presented a difference in the perioperative period (group A: mean 1.5 g/dL, median 1.45 g/dL; group B: mean 2.15 g/dL, median 2.2 g/dL). Time to ischemia was found to be shorter in group A with a median of 18 min compared to a median of 20 min in group B. No subcutaneous emphysema, pneumothorax, and pneumomediastinum cases occurred in either group. A postoperative complication developed in one patient requiring superselective embolization. Conclusion: In selected patients, our preliminary surgical experience has shown that the LPN procedure performed with the aid of the AirSeal® intelligent insufflation system can be used to treat even medium-/high-complexity kidney lesions, with a reduction in operating times, lower rates of complications, and perioperative blood loss.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
