Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The investigators hypothesize that with the AirSeal® valveless trocar system, gynecologic laparoscopy can be performed at a lower intra-abdominal pressure with a possible resultant decrease in CO2 absorption, while maintaining adequate visualization of the operative field for safe completion of surgery.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The AirSeal® valveless trocar system reduces CO2 absorption when compared to standard trocars during renal laparoscopy. Also, use of this trocar system provides a more stable intra-abdominal pressure when compared to standard trocars, a feature that could possibly allow for laparoscopic surgery to be performed at lower intra-abdominal pressures.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Standard trocar/ IAP 15 mmHg
Patients who are randomized into this arm will have their laparoscopic procedures performed with the standard trocar insufflator at an intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) of 15 mmHg.
Standard trocar
A standard insufflation trocar delivers CO2 into the abdominal cavity to create workspace and uses either a "trap door" or silicone valve to prevent the egress of CO2 during laparoscopy in order to maintain intra-abdominal pressures. The standard trocars are not equipped to respond to changes in the intra-abdominal pressures in order to trigger an increase or decrease in the flow rate of CO2 gas.
Standard trocar/ IAP 10 mmHg
Patients who are randomized into this arm will have their laparoscopic procedures performed with the standard trocar insufflator at an intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) of 10 mmHg.

AirSeal trocar/ IAP 15 mmHg
Patients who are randomized into this arm will have their laparoscopic procedures performed with the AirSeal trocar insufflator at an intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) of 15 mmHg.
AirSeal trocar
The AirSeal® trocar is a valveless trocar that has been designed to replace the "trap door" and silicone valve of standard trocars with a curtain of forced CO2 gas. With the AirSeal® trocar, escaping gas is collected at the proximal end of the trocar, filtered, and redirected into the peritoneal cavity to maintain the pressure differential. The result is an invisible barrier that instantaneously responds to changes in intra-abdominal pressure, either by allowing more CO2 inflow with pressure drops or by serving as a pressure relief valve during pressure spikes.
