The Effects of Different Intraabdominal Pressure Protocols in Laparoscopic Procedures on Oxidative Stress Markers and Morphology in Rat Ovaries

Abstract

Background. To determine the effects of different intraabdominal pressure (IAP) on the ovaries in a laparoscopic rat model. Objectives. The aim of the study was to determine the effects on the ovaries of different intraabdominal pressures (IAP) in laparoscopic surgery in a rat model. Material and Methods. Thirty-two post-pubertal nonpregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were divided randomly into four groups. In the control group, no intraabdominal pressure (IAP) was applied. In Group Pp10 and Group Pp15, an IAP of 10 and 15 mm Hg, respectively, were applied by carbon dioxide insufflation for 60 min, and a 30-min desufflation was carried out. In Group IPp15, a 15 mm Hg IAP was applied for 10 min, and then CO 2 was desufflated for 10 min. After this ischemic preconditioning, IAP was established at 15 mm Hg for 60 min, after which CO 2 was desufflated for 30 min. Erythrocyte and ovarian tissue malondialdehyde (MDA) and histopathologic damage scores were evaluated. Results. In Groups Pp10 and Pp15, ovarian tissue MDA values were significantly increased compared to the control group. In Groups Pp10 and Pp15, erythrocyte MDA values were significantly increased when compared to Group IPp15 and the control group. Ovarian histopatological assesment scores were significantly higher in Group Pp15 than in Groups Pp10 and IPp15. Conclusions. Pneumoperitoneum causes injuries to abdominal organ such as the ovaries. The ischemic preconditioning method is more effective in reducing oxidative stress due to laparoscopic pneumoperitoneum than lowpressure pneumoperitoneum methods (Adv Clin Exp Med 2014, 23, 6, 885-892).

Pneumoperitoneum effect on testicular oxidative stress and histopathology – Systematic review

“…Although it was not the purpose of the study to examine the attenuate techniques for testicular damage during pneumoperitoneum, preconditioning studies of pneumoperitoneum were not found. Preconditioning uses brief exposure to IAP prior to the main procedure, where animals subjected to pneumoperitoneum carried out with pressure of 15 mmHg and TE of 1 hour showed lower degrees of ovarian lesions when compared to animals without pre-conditioning (Biler et al, 2014).…”

Comparison between laparoscopic surgery and laparotomy for the treatment of acute ruptured ectopic pregnancy

“…Operation trauma is a strong stressor that can significantly activate the body's stress response and cause the abnormal synthesis and secretion of a variety of endocrine hormones [10][11]. Adrenal gland is the endocrine gland that plays an important role in the process of stress reactio, the hormones secreted by adrenal medulla and cortex are closely related to the activation of stress reaction [12].…”

Curative effect of laparoscopic surgery on acute gastric perforation

“…Adrenal gland is an endocrinal organ that plays an important role in the process of stress reaction. E and NE secreted by adrenal medulla and Cor secreted by adrenal cortex are the important endocrine hormones mediating stress reaction [17,18]. When the body is suffering from external trauma, hypothalamicpituitaryadrenal (HPA) axle will be activated and the sympathetic nerve activity is enhanced [19,20].…”
