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

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 …

It has been hypothesized that providing deep neuromuscular block (a posttetanic count of 1
or more, but a train-of-four [TOF] count of zero) when compared with moderate block (TOF …

Trial design This is a phase III, double-blind, randomized, controlled trial. Methods In this
trial, patients with laparoscopic colectomy were assigned to either low pressure (LP: 7 …

Background Laparoscopic surgery is regarded as the gold standard for the surgical
management of cholelithiasis. To improve post-operative pain, low-pressure laparoscopic …

Background: Guidelines do not provide clear recommendations with regard to the use of low
intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) during laparoscopic surgery. The aim of this meta-analysis is …

Background The beneficial effects of deep blockade are not fully known. In this study, we
evaluated the effect of deep neuromuscular blockade on surgical conditions during …

Background This study aimed to determine whether continuous deep neuromuscular
blockade (NMB) improves the surgical conditions and facilitates robotic-assisted …

Background Laparoscopic cholecystectomy involves using intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) to
facilitate adequate surgical conditions. However, there is no consensus on optimal IAP …

Background The incidence of shoulder pain (SP) following laparoscopic cholecystectomy
(LC) varies between 21 and 80%. A few randomised controlled trials and meta-analysis …
