Data underlying the publication: Characterisation of trocar associated gas leaks during laparoscopic surgery

The study aimed to determine what influence laparoscopic instruments had on the gas leakage performance of laparoscopic trocars under a series of different manipulations. Using a surgical model, we used a series of different manipulations between laparoscopic instruments and trocars to measure gas flow. The gas flow was measured using a gas flow sensor.The data consists of one excel file for each of the trocars that was tested. The raw data for gas flow for each trocar is given for each of the steps of the measurement protocol.
