Comparison Between Low Pressure Versus High Pressure Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy - Full Text View

Purpose

The physiological changes and postoperative pain are directly related with the degree of intra-abdominal pressure kept during the laparoscopy. The present study aims to examine difference between low pressure pneumoperitoneum (8 mm Hg)and High pressure pneumoperitoneum (12 mm Hg)during laparoscopic cholecystectomy in terms of pain, cardio-pulmonary function, arterial blood gas changes etc.
