Utilization of deep neuromuscular blockade combined with reduced abdominal pressure in laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer: An academic perspective.

Background: Few studies have examined the specific efficacy of deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB) combined with pneumoperitoneal pressure reduction in laparoscopic radical gastrectomy (LRG) in the elderly.

Aim: To investigate the application effect of deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB) combined with reduced pneumoperitoneum pressure in LRG for gastric cancer (GC) in elderly patients and its influence on inflammation.

Methods: Totally 103 elderly patients with GC treated in our hospital between January 2020 and January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.
