Patients were divided into two groups based on the insufflation system used: AirSeal\u00ae (n=86) and conventional insufflation (n=122). Baseline demographics, operative characteristics, and postoperative outcomes\u2014including operative time, estimated blood loss, length of hospital stay, complications (Clavien-Dindo classification), trifecta achievement, renal function, and postoperative opioid use\u2014were compared. Statistical analyses included chi-square tests, independent t-tests, and univariate linear regression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Baseline demographic, functional, and oncologic characteristics were comparable between groups. Use of AirSeal\u00ae was associated with significantly shorter operative time (\u221230.83 minutes, p&lt;0.001), reduced estimated blood loss (\u221281.42 cc, p=0.003), and shorter hospital stay (\u22121.09 days, p&lt;0.001).
