Brief Summary

To improve post-operative recovery, the concept of Low Impact Laparoscopy was developed in colo-rectal surgery with associating low-pressure pneumoperitoneum and microlaparoscopic surgery. A phase III double-blind, prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-centric trial is designed in the aim to assess the impact of low-pressure pneumoperitoneum with microlaparoscopic instruments on post-operative pain at 24 hours without taking opioids. It is compared with low-pressure laparoscopy with classical laparoscopic instruments in patients undergoing colorectal surgeries.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of patients with pain at 24 hours after the end of the intervention by NRS ≤ 3 without taking opioids (without pain reliever 2 and 3)

    Pain is evaluated with the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS, from 0 (no pain) to 10 (hurts worst)

    At 24 hours after the end of surgery

Secondary Outcomes (13)

  • Operating time

    During surgery

  • Conversion rate in normal pressure laparoscopy and or in laparotomy

    During surgery

  • Intraoperative analgesia nociception index (ANI)

    During surgery

  • Peri-operative cardiovascular and respiratory components

    During surgery

  • Time to resume transit and gas

    An average of 5 days after the surgery

  • +8 more secondary outcomes
