Peritoneal changes due to laparoscopic surgery

Abstract: BackgroundLaparoscopic surgery has been incorporated into common surgical practice. The peritoneum is an organ with various biologic functions that may be affected in different ways by laparoscopic and open techniques. Clinically, these alterations may be important in issues such as peritoneal metastasis and adhesion formation.MethodsA literature search using the Pubmed and Cochrane databases identified articles focusing on the key issues of laparoscopy, peritoneum, inflammation, morphology, immunology, and fi… Show more

“…The protective function of the peritoneum can be disturbed by the physical as well as the chemical action of the gas used to create a pneumoperitoneum. As a result, immunological, inflammatory and angiogenic imbalances occur [1].…”

“…One was the decreased viability of mesothelial cells as effect of CO 2 insufflation during the laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedures. Elevated intra-abdominal pressure restrains blood perfusion and initiates intraperitoneal acidosis [21,22]. However, an excess of carbon dioxide is potentially harmful to human cells.…”

“…The benefits of laparoscopic or minimally invasive surgery (better cosmesis, reduced postoperative pain, and faster recovery) are well known for many diseases, but reduced trauma to the abdominal wall is particularly evident in pancreatic surgery. [1,2] However, surgery of the pancreas is still challenging, and although the first reported case of laparoscopic approach in pancreatic disease was in 1994, it has been widely applied only in the past decade. [3][4][5] Open surgery is still performed because of the anatomy of pancreas, limitations of team skills, and some early concerns regarding oncologic outcomes.…”
