Randomized Trial of Low-pressure Carbon Dioxide-elicited Pneumoperitoneum Versus Abdominal Wall Lifting for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Abstract

Both alternative methods for this type of surgery appeared feasible and safe for LC. Low-pressure CO2 pneumoperitoneum had a shorter surgical duration and less postoperative shoulder pain compared to the GLC technique, but did not feature any other advantage over the AWL technique with regard to impact on cardiopulmonary function.
