Background Laparoscopy is a common procedure in many surgical specialties.
Complications arising from laparoscopy are often related to initial entry into the abdomen …

Background Laparoscopic surgery has several advantages when compared to open
surgery, including faster postoperative recovery and lower pain scores. However, for …

It has been hypothesized that providing deep neuromuscular block (a posttetanic count of 1
or more, but a train-of-four [TOF] count of zero) when compared with moderate block (TOF …

Background: Guidelines do not provide clear recommendations with regard to the use of low
intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) during laparoscopic surgery. The aim of this meta-analysis is …

Abstract Study Objective To compare the use of low pneumoperitoneum pressure (LPP; 8
mm Hg) vs standard pneumoperitoneum pressure (SPP; 12 mm Hg) during mini …

BACKGROUND Previous studies have reported that deep neuromuscular block (posttetanic-
count 1 to 2 twitches) improves surgical conditions during laparoscopy compared with …

Background Evidence indicates that low-pressure pneumoperitoneum (PNP) reduces
postoperative pain and analgesic consumption. A lower insufflation pressure may hamper …

Both preclinical and clinical studies indicate that raised intra-abdominal pressure (IAP)
associated with pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic surgical procedures can cause …

BACKGROUND Profound neuromuscular blockade (NMB) during anaesthesia has been
shown to reduce postoperative pain scores, when compared with a moderate block. We …

Background: The creation of pneumoperitoneum using higher pressure is believed to be
associated with increased postoperative abdominal pain. Aim: This study aimed to compare …
