Background: Pneumoperitoneum at 15 mmHg results in dangerous hemodynamic
disturbances in some patients. The use of low-pressure insufflation may make laparoscopic …

Methods: Eighty-two patients were randomly divided into 2 groups (LPPLC and NPPLC).
Serum levels of bilirubin, serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase, serum glutamic-pyruvic …

Introduction It has been previously demonstrated that the rise of intra-abdominal pressures
and prolonged exposure to such pressures can produce changes in the cardiovascular and …

Background The increase in intra-abdominal pressure by insufflation of carbon dioxide
during laparoscopy brings certain changes in function of organ systems and also leads to …

Background: Reduced postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC)
compared to open cholecystectomy (OC) may be able to be further optimized. To reduce …

Introduction Intraabdominal CO 2 gas after laparoscopic cholecystectomy causes
postoperative shoulder-tip pain. Many methods of analgesia have been used to reduce this …

Background: Peritoneal insufflation to 15 mmHg diminishes venous return and reduces
cardiac output. Such changes may be dangerous in patients with a poor cardiac reserve …

Background A pneumoperitoneum of 12 to 16 mm Hg is used for laparoscopic
cholecystectomy. Lower pressures are claimed to be safe and effective in decreasing …

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy using low-pressure pneumoperitoneum (8
mmHg) minimizes adverse hemodynamic effects, reduces postoperative pain, and …

Background Laparoscopic surgery has several advantages when compared to open
surgery, including faster postoperative recovery and lower pain scores. However, for …
