Background/aim: We investigated pelvic arterial deformation and shift due to intraoperative pneumoperitoneum and postural changes in an animal model.
Materials And Methods: Computed tomography images of pigs were acquired in different body positions (supine, head down at 5° and 10°, right lateral recumbent at 5° and 15°) before and after insufflation. We used a free software (3D Slicer) for image analysis.
