A Prospective Randomized, Controlled Study Comparing Low Pressure Versus High Pressure Pneumoperitoneum During Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Abstract

An uncomplicated gall stone disease can be treated by low pressure laparoscopic cholecystectomy with reasonable safety by an experienced surgeon. Though surgeons experience more difficulty in dissection during low pressure pneumoperitoneum, it is significantly advantageous in terms of postoperative pain, use of analgesics, preservation of pulmonary function, and hospital stay.
