The purpose of this study is to compare carbon dioxide (CO2) absorption during gynecologic laparoscopy using the AirSeal® valveless trocar system versus standard insufflation trocars at intra-abdominal pressures of 10 and 15 mmHg. 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.
