Impact of insufflator/aspirator versus exclusive insufflator during robotic radical prostatectomy: a comparative prospective cohort study.

Data from this large group of patients showed that the rate of overall complications, the rate of major complications, and the length of stay were lower in the IAS group. Implementing the IAS in RARP patients increased the occurrence of SCE and affected our daily practice of transversus abdominis plane block. Interpretation of the results should be made with caution since the design of this study did not allow for the identification of a causal relationship.
