The impact of the AirSeal ® valve-less trocar system in robotic colorectal surgery: a single-surgeon retrospective review

ConclusionIn patients undergoing low anterior resections, the AirSeal® trocar system demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in mean operative time and EBL compared to the traditional trocar system. There was also a trend towards decreased length of stay and post-operative complications with AirSeal® use in low anterior resections and right hemicolectomies. In patients undergoing distal colorectal procedures, the AirSeal® trocar system should be considered.
