Unique case of retained needle in the AirSeal trocar during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. A 68-year-old male with prostate cancer underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Upon laparoscopic removal of final intra-abdominal suture by bedside assistant, needle became dislodged from suture and was unable to be located after a standard systematic search. Ultimately, needle was found caught in the assistant's AirSeal trocar device. Intraoperative loss of a foreign body should include inspection, and possible radiographic evaluation, of the trocar mechanism as part of a complete systematic approach.

Background: Valveless trocars like AirSeal system are maintain a stable pneumoperitoneum and reduce instrument friction.
Case Presentation: A 65-year-old man's robotic radical cystectomy was complicated by a missing needle while using AirSeal system. The needle was detected via backward inspection using the endo camera inserted through the trocar, tip at its most distal end let the visualization of the needle within the air channels and confirmed with a trocar X-ray.

A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to investigate the efficacy of the AirSeal Valveless Trocar Needle Insufflation System in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). The study compared the differences in perioperative outcomes between the AirSeal insufflation group (AIS) and the conventional insufflation group (CIS). A systematic search of databases such as PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, and Web of science was performed to identify studies reporting perioperative outcomes between the AirSeal insufflation group (AIS) and the conventional insufflation group (CIS) in RAPN.

Purpose: AirSeal is a valve-less trocar insufflation system which is widely used in robotic urologic surgeries. More evidence is needed concerning the application and cost of AirSeal in retroperitoneal robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.
Methods: We conducted a randomized controlled trial enrolling 62 patients who underwent retroperitoneal robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy from February 2022 to February 2023 in the Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

Introduction: Hugo Robot-Assisted Surgery (RAS) System has been conceived with enhanced modularity but its role for nephron-sparing surgery setting still remains poorly explored. We aimed to describe our experience in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) with a three-arms setting for the first off-clamp series using the new Hugo RAS System.
Methods: Patients were placed on an extended flank position at the margin of the surgical bed with a slightly flexion (45°).

Conventional operative insufflation uses a one-way trocar to handle instruments while maintaining pneumoperitoneum. In 2007, the AirSeal valveless trocar insufflation system was introduced, which maintains stable pneumoperitoneum while continuously evacuating smoke. Although this device has been validated in adult patients, it has not been extensively validated in the pediatric population.
