Although laparoscopy has been available since it was first described by Kelling in 1923, 31
only in the last decade has it found applications in pediatric surgery. As expertise and …

Since the introduction of minimal access surgery to general surgeons in the 1980s, pediatric
surgeons have been employing this innovative technology to perform surgery on children …

OBJECTIVES: We monitored changes in intracranial pressure (ICP) in 2 children with
myelodysplasia undergoing laparoscopic bladder autoaugmentation. Both children had …

The absorption of carbon dioxide (CO2) used for positive pressure pneumoperitoneum may
lead to an increased CO2 load. CO2 elimination during laparoscopy has not been …

Background Few studies have reported objective measurements of pulmonary changes
under controlled conditions in infants undergoing laparoscopic procedures. We objectively …

Background: Both mechanical and pharmacological effects may contribute to the
haemodynamic consequences of carbon dioxide (CO2) pneumoperitoneum. The aim of the …

Laparoscopic techniques for surgery are gradually becoming established in paediatric
surgery. Technical aspects, such as the maximum safe gas insufflation pressure, are still …

Aim. The aim of our study was to compare classic laryngeal mask airway (LMA-C) with the
endotracheal tube (ETT) in pediatric laparoscopic surgery to evaluate the intragastric …

Abstract Study Objective. To compare pain after laparoscopic tubal ligation by gasless
laparoscopy versus carbon dioxide (CO2) pneumoperitoneum. Design. Prospective …

Abstract Background. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is absorbed during pneumoperitoneum and
may cause adverse haemodynamic effects. The aim of this study was to measure the …
