NCT03128281

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to compare the level of pain 2 hours after surgery in patients after the use of the AirSeal® Insufflation System (AIS) at a high or low pressure setting or the standard insufflator (the conventional insufflation system, or CIS). "Insufflation" is the creation of a pressure barrier of air/gas within the abdomen that allows the surgeon more space to work in.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Incidence of Shoulder Pain After Laparoscopic/Robotic Surgery

    Incidence of shoulder pain defined by a positive (\>0) score for an 11-point pain intensity numeric rating scale (PI-NRS).

    Post-operative day 1

Study Arms (3)

Conventional Insufflation System (CIS)

EXPERIMENTAL

Questionnaires completed 30 days before surgery, two (2) hours after surgery, when leaving the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), and at hospital discharge. Conventional Insufflation System (CIS) used for pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic/robotic surgery.

Interventions

QuestionnairesBEHAVIORAL

Questionnaires completed 30 days before surgery, two (2) hours after surgery, when leaving the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), and at hospital discharge. Questionnaires ask about pain level and any drugs taken for it. It should take about 5 minutes to complete.
