Abstract

Our study documented significant hemodynamic and respiratory changes during pediatric laparoscopic surgeries. A similar effect on the respiratory parameters was observed in both groups. Although there were no apparent complications associated with either approach, further prospective studies are warranted to confirm the effect of laparoscopic urological surgery on cardiopulmonary function in children.
