Background Carbon dioxide (CO 2) is the most common gas used for insufflation in
laparoscopy, but its effects on peritoneal physiology are poorly understood. This study looks …

Impact of Gas(less) Laparoscopy and Laparotomy on Peritoneal... : Annals of Surgery Impact of
Gas(less) Laparoscopy and Laparotomy on Peritoneal Tumor Growth and Abdominal Wall …

Background: The effects of laparotomy and laparoscopy with different gases on
subcutaneous and intraperitoneal tumor growth have not been evaluated yet. Methods …

Background: Previous work has demonstrated that cell-mediated immune function is better
preserved in rodents after laparoscopic than open surgery. The cause of this laparotomy …

Background: Laparoscopic CO2-insufflation is believed to stimulate proliferation and
metastatic potential of gastrointestinal carcinomas. E-cadherin, I-CAM1, I-CAM2, and CD44 …

Background: Laparoscopic resection for cancer is controversial and port-site metastases are
not infrequent. The mechanisms of occurrence of port-site metastases remain unclear …

Port site recurrences (PSR) are abdominal wall recurrences that occur within a trocar site
after cancer laparoscopy and that are not associated with peritoneal carcinosis. The short …

Background Port-site metastasis is a critical problem in laparoscopic cancer surgery; the
pathogenesis and means of prevention are still unclear. The aim of this study was to clarify …

Background: Because of the possibility of intraperitoneal seeding and port‐site recurrences
following laparoscopic surgery, the role of laparoscopy in cancer surgery remains …

Background Postoperative systemic immune function is suppressed after open abdominal
surgery, as compared with that after minimally invasive abdominal surgery. As a first line of …
