Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the gold standard for treating symptomatic cholelithiasis due to its minimally invasive nature and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery, but it is not without risks. A key component of this procedure is the creation of pneumoperitoneum. This is achieved by insufflating the abdomen with carbon dioxide (CO2).

Background: Little is known about the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on cerebral blood flow. We investigated this question in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, hypothesizing that EA would increase cerebral blood flow during surgery.
Methods: Eighty-two patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly divided into receiving electroacupuncture and intravenous anesthesia (EA+IA) and receving intravenous anesthesia alone (IA).

: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy constitutes the current "gold standard" treatment of symptomatic gallstone disease. In order to avoid intraoperative vasculobiliary injuries, it is mandatory to establish the "critical view of safety". In cases of poor identification of the cystic duct and artery leading to a missed intraoperative injury, patients present with elevated liver function tests (LFTs) or increased bilirubin postoperatively.

Background: Establishing a pneumoperitoneum for laparoscopy is common surgical practice, with the goal to create an optimal surgical workspace within the abdominal cavity while minimizing insufflation pressure. Individualized strategies, based on neuromuscular blockade (NMB), pre-stretching routines, and personalized intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) to enhance surgical conditions are strategies to improve surgical workspace. However, the specific impact of each factor remains uncertain.
