Low Pressure Versus Standard Pressure Pneumoperitoneum in Laparoscopic Nephrectomy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Laparoscopic nephrectomies are commonly performed these days and are considered gold standard for both benign and malignant diseases as well as for donor nephrectomies. Despite being a widely performed surgery worldwide still there are areas of uncertainties due to lack of evidences. One of such area of dilemma is the optimum pressure of pneumoperitoneum. This study aims to identify if lower pressure of pneumoperitoneum is safe during laparoscopic nephrectomies.
This is a hospital based prospective randomized control study. All the patients undergoing laparoscopic nephrectomies at department of urology and kidney transplant surgery will be eligible for study. Patients will be divided into low pressure or standard pressure pneumoperitoneum by simple random sampling and comparison of various intraoperative and post-operative parameters will be done to assess the safety of low pressure pneumoperitoneum

Experimental: Low pressure pneumoperitoneum laparoscopic nephrectomy Pneumoperitonuem Pressure of 8 - 10 mmHg |
Procedure: Laparoscopic Surgery
Surgery will then proceed at either 8 - 10 or 12 - 15 mmHg pneumoperitoneum pressure depending on study group the patient falls into
Port Placement
Reflection of colon
Isolation of ureterogonadal packet
Upper pole dissection
Hilar dissection
Vessel clipping and division
Dissection of kidney
Delivery through either Pfannenstiel or iliac fossa incision

Active Comparator: Standard pressure pneumoperitoneum laparoscopic nephrectomy Pneumoperitonuem Pressure of 12 - 15 mmHg |
Procedure: Laparoscopic Surgery
Surgery will then proceed at either 8 - 10 or 12 - 15 mmHg pneumoperitoneum pressure depending on study group the patient falls into

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- To compare the safety of low pressure versus standard pressure pneumoperitoneum in laparoscopic nephrectomy [30 days perioperative period]
Complications between two groups will determine the safety of procedure.
- To compare the efficacy of low pressure versus standard pressure pneumoperitoneum in laparoscopic nephrectomy [30 days perioperative period]
Operative time will help to determine efficacy of treatment.
