Effects of extremely low-pressure pneumoperitoneum on postoperative recovery after single site robot-assisted cholecystectomy: a randomized controlled trial
Abstract:Purpose A robotic platform has enabled extremely low-pressure pneumoperitoneum (ELPP, 4 mmHg) to reduce surgical insults to human physiology during a minimally invasive surgery. The objective of this study was to investigate effect of ELPP in single-site robotic cholecystectomy (SSRC) on postoperative pain, shoulder pain, and physiological changes during surgery compared to a standard pressure pneumoperitoneum (SPP, 12-14 mmHg).Methods A total of 192 patients who underwent an elective cholecystectomy were rand… Show more
