Comparative study of respiratory muscle strength in women undergoing conventional and single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate respiratory muscle strength (PImax and PEmax) before and 24 and 48 h after conventional and single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods: Forty women with symptomatic cholelithiasis (18 to 70 years) participated in the study. The patients were divided into two groups: 21 patients undergoing conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy and 19 patients undergoing single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Differences were considered to be significant when p<0.05. Results:The results showed a greater decline in PImax after 24 h in the group submitted to conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy, with a significant difference between groups (p=0.0308). Conclusion: Recovery of the parameters studied was more satisfactory and respiratory muscle strength was less compromised in the group submitted to single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Pulmonary function in women: comparative analysis of conventional versus single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy

“…In the study by Chiavegato et al 6 However, it has been shown that laparoscopy produces small changes, which do have an impact on lung function, especially in patients with previous pulmonary compromise 32 . In the evaluation of respiratory muscle strength in patients of both groups, a greater decline in the maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) has been observed after 24 hours in the group of patients submitted to conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy, with a significant difference between groups (p=0.0308) 33 .…”

Pre- and postoperative respiratory muscle strength, body mass index and fasting glucose profile of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus submitted to metabolic surgery

“…The authors observed a significant decrease in MEP (p=0.004) but not in MIP (p = 0.678) [15]. Borges et al [16] evaluated 40 female patients submitted to conventional laparoscopic and single portal laparoscopic cholecystectomy and observed a significant decrease in MIP and MEP 48 hours after the surgical procedure when compared to the preoperative period [16].…”
