[Low-pressure pneumoperitoneum with abdominal elevation in laparoscopic radical prosta-tectomy in elderly patients with a localized form of prostate cancer.]

Prostate cancer is an actual problem among males of older age groups, while the concomi-tant premorbid background of this category of patients often leads to the development of postopera-tive complications using the standard surgical method. The article presents the results of using low-pressure pneumoperitoneum with anterior abdominal wall lifting for laparoscopic radical prostatec-tomy in elderly patients with a localized form of prostate cancer. Convincingly shown that the use of low-pressure techniques pneumoperitoneum with lifting anterior abdominal wall ensures satis-factory operating field, obtains stable indicators of operational monitoring and allow to reduce the duration of the operation, as well as reduce the duration of hospitalization and incidence of postoperative complications.
