Gas Embolism‐Related Stroke Following Minimally Invasive Hepatectomy Using Air Seal Insufflation

Key Points

• This study aims to evaluate the occurrence of gas embolism-related stroke in patients undergoing minimally invasive hepatectomy using Air Seal insufflation.
• Randomized trial design involving patients undergoing minimally invasive hepatectomy.
• Assessment of gas embolism incidence and related stroke events during the surgical procedure.
• Data collection prior and during the surgery using structured follow-up protocols.
• Docuemented cases of gas embolism leading to stroke among patients undergoing the procedure.
• Statistical analysis of event rates is pending due to data availability restrictions.
