Low Versus Standard Intraabdominal Pressure in Robot-assisted Colorectal Cancer Surgery

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the influence of low intraabdominal pressure (compared to standard intraabdominal pressure) during robot-assisted colorectal cancer surgery on patients wellbeing after surgery. Patients included are diagnosed with colon- or rectal cancer, and scheduled for curatively intended surgery. The main question the trial aims to answer is: Does low intraabdominal pressure during robot-assisted colorectal cancer surgery increase the patients wellbeing after surgery? Researchers will compare low intraabdominal pressure (8 mmHg) to standard intraabdominal pressure (12 mmHg) to see if there is a difference in quality of recovery scores, pain scores and analgetic consumption. Participants will be asked to fill out the Quality of Recovery 15 (QoR15) questionnaire 8 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours after surgery. Furthermore, patients will be asked to evaluate abdominal pain and shoulder tip pain using the visual analog scale (VAS).
