“…Laparoscopy is today an accepted part of gastroenterological and gynecological practice. There have, however, been several reports of complications; most of them occur during peritoneal gas insuffiation and either give rise to cardiac arrest or arrhythmias (2,10,12,18,21,23), to air embolism (4,9,11,16,24,32) or shock (17,19,20,21) from "impaired respiration or circulation".

A previously unrecorded complication of laparoscopy is described and its probable pathogenesis discussed: rupture of the distal oesophagus with invagination of the stomach into the right pleural cavity. Peritoneal overdistension as etiologic factor of the reported complication has to be avoided to prevent gastrointestinal displacements and alterations of pulmonary mechanics; these risks will be kept to a minimum by monitoring the infraabdominal pressure.
