BACKGROUND E AIMS: We aimed to determine whether intraabdominal pressure change caused by pneumoperitoneum created during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has effects on abdominal and shoulder pain, nausea, vomiting, bowel movements, time of first flatus and defecation, and biochemical parameters.

METHODS: Seventy patients that were diagnosed with cholelithiasis and would undergo LC, between the ages of 18-75, with the Society of Anesthesia Physical Status (ASA) I-III classifications were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups as whose intervention was defined as low pressure (8-10 mm/hg) and whose intervention was defined as high pressure (14-16 mm/hg). Differences in the prognoses of patients in both groups were observed for statistical significance.

RESULTS: Shoulder pain-visual analogue scale (VAS) values in 6th and 24th hours were lower in Group 1 (p< 0.005).
