CONTROVERSIES IN LOW VERSUS STANDARD PRESSURE PNEUMOPERITONEUM USAGE IN LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERIES
Abstract
Background: Laparoscopic surgery has evolved over a past few decades and continues to advance. When compared with open surgeries, laparoscopic surgeries have several advantages of faster recovery and decreased postoperative pain. The workplace so created by pneumoperitoneum has its negative implications on cardiovascular, pulmonary and intrabdominal organ functioning. Several trials have been done to see these impacts using low pressure and standard pressure pneumoperitoneum. Recently attention is focused on improving clinical outcomes based on altering the laparoscopic surgical environment.
Methods: Systematic review of all randomized controlled clinical trials and observational studies comparing low versus standard pressure pneumoperitoneum. Results and
Conclusions: In healthy individuals undergoing laparoscopic procedures, limited data are available to suggest supremacy of low-pressure pneumoperitoneum over standard pneumoperitoneum. However certain parameters seem to have an impact with low-pressure pneumoperitoneum but to generalize at present with lack of significant randomized controlled clinical trials would be inappropriate. One can safely conclude that low-pressure settings does seem to reduce postoperative pain and would be safer in patients with the high-risk group but in lowrisk patients using low-pressure settings would risk the safety with regard to workspace and dissection.
