Laparoscopic extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair with spinal anesthesia and nitrous oxide insufflation

Abstract: Laparoscopic total extraperitoneal hernia repair can be safely and comfortably performed using spinal anesthesia with extraperitoneal nitrous oxide insufflation gas. This method provides a good alternative to general anesthesia.

“…7 The frequency of pneumoperitoneum during TEP has been reported to be between 10 and 64%. [14][15][16] In the present study, pneumoperitoneum was seen in 25 of the 72 (34.7%) participating patients. Shoulder tip pain was more frequent in patients with pneumoperitoneum, regardless of whether they were in the experimental or the control group.…”

“…However, the anesthetic technique should be tailored to the type of surgery. General anesthesia (balanced anesthesia technique with several intravenous and inhalational agents and the use of muscle relaxants), peripheral nerve blocks, and neuraxial anesthesia as an alternative to general anesthesia for outpatient pelvic laparoscopy, local anesthesia infiltration in microlaparoscopy for limited and precise gynecological procedures, and intravenous sedation can be used with a safe profile for patients and have been described in the literature (LE 5) [364], (LE 4) [365], (LE 2b) [366,367], (LE 1b) [368], (LE 1a) [369], (LE 4) [370], (LE 1b) [371,372], (LE 2b) [373,374], (LE 1b) [375]. Laparoscopy is most commonly performed with the patient under general anesthesia, especially for prolonged and upper abdominal procedures.…”

“…Há de se considerar que, atualmente, novas formas de energia são utilizadas em substituição a eletrocoagulação, tendo menor possibilidade ou ausência de risco de causar combustão, como por exemplo o bisturi ultrassônico (UltraCision®) 60 . Devemos lembrar que há serviços utilizando o NO 2 , com conhecido potencial de combustão, em procedimentos terapêuticos sem o uso de eletrocoagulação 36,42 . Talvez a preocupação principal da utilização do Ar nos procedimentos laparoscópicos terapêuticos seria verificar o perigo de embolia gasosa na presença de lesões vasculares que eventualmente podem ocorrer durante uma operação, já que a possibilidade de lesão vascular no momento da criação do pneumoperitônio com a agulha de Verres poderia ser evitada usando-se uma técnica aberta.…”

“…Em pacientes com doença cardiorespiratória, estas alterações têm uma repercussão maior 1,12,14,16,22,23,26,29,32,33 . É conhecido que o CO 2 reduz o pH da superfície peritonial 25,34,35 , provocando mais dor quando comparado com outros gases 35,36 , fato que também implica na utilização de anestesia geral.…”
