Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery Using Low-pressure Combined With Warm and Humidified Carbon Dioxide Insufflation

Randomized Trial Comparing Low Pressure in Laparoscopic Colorectal Resection With Warm and Humidified Carbon Dioxide Pneumoperitoneum Versus Low Pressure Pneumoperitoneum Alone

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 18 Jun 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

To improve post-operative recovery, medical device was developed combining low-pressure pneumoperitoneum and heated and humidified Carbon Dioxide (95˚F \& 95% RH) during laparoscopic surgery to reduce the harmful effects of cold/dry insufflation. A double-blind, prospective, randomized, controlled, monocentric trial is designed in the aim to assess the impact of low-pressure pneumoperitoneum with warm and humidified gaz on post-operative pain at 24 hours without taking opioids. It is compared with low-pressure laparoscopy with cold and dry gaz in patients undergoing colorectal surgeries.
