Obesity and perioperative pulmonary complications in robotic gynecologic surgery.

American journal of obstetrics and gynecology
OBJECTIVE: Robotic gynecological surgery is feasible in obese patients, but there remain concerns about the safety of this approach because the positioning required for pelvic surgery can exacerbate obesity-related changes in respiratory physiology. ...

Effects of steep Trendelenburg position for robotic-assisted prostatectomies on intra- and extrathoracic airways in patients with or without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

British journal of anaesthesia
BACKGROUND: The use of the steep Trendelenburg position and abdominal CO2-insufflation during surgery can lead to significant reduction in pulmonary compliance and upper airway oedema. The postoperative time course of these effects and their influenc...

Head-down tilt lithotomy position and well-leg compartment syndrome: An international survey of current practice.

Colorectal disease : the official journal of the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland
AIM: Well-leg compartment syndrome (WLCS) is a serious complication of prolonged surgery in the head-down tilt lithotomy (HDTL) position associated with increased postoperative morbidity and mortality. However, there is a lack of awareness and clinic...

Association Between Acute Kidney Injury and the Trendelenburg Position Angle During Robot-assisted Radical Prostatectomy.

Anticancer research
BACKGROUND/AIM: Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) has been widely adopted as the standard treatment for localized prostate cancer. RARP is safer and results in better oncological control than conventional open total prostatectomy. However, ...

Influence of Trendelenburg position and pneumoperitoneum treatment on gastroesophageal reflux in dogs.

Polish journal of veterinary sciences
Gastroesophageal reflux is a latent factor that may cause esophagitis, esophageal stenosis, and aspiration pneumonia through the regurgitation of the gastric fluid contents. For laparoscopic surgery, posture-changing and pneumoperitoneum operations a...

Dynamic Arterial Elastance in Predicting Arterial Pressure Increase After Fluid Challenge During Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy: A Prospective Observational Study.

Medicine
During robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy, specific physiological conditions such as carbon dioxide insufflation and the steep Trendelenburg position can alter the cardiac workload and cerebral hemodynamics. Inadequate arterial blood pressure ...

Detection of elevated intracranial pressure in robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy using ultrasonography of optic nerve sheath diameter.

Journal of neurosurgical anesthesiology
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP) is becoming an increasingly frequent procedure. Pneumoperitoneum and steep trendelenburg positioning associated with this surgery may increase patient's risk for elevated intracran...
