Background: Laparoscopic surgery for patients with cancer has been debated because of the susceptibility that laparoscopic incisions have shown for metastatic tumor growth. Structural damage of the mesothelial layer attributable to the pneumoperitoneum may facilitate intraabdominal tumor cell adhesion and growth. The influence of carbon dioxide (CO(2)) and helium pneumoperitoneum on the morphology of the peritoneum was examined.
Methods: A total of 50 rats received colon carcinoma (DHB/TRb) cells intraperitoneally and CO(2) (n = 25) or helium (n = 25) pneumoperitoneum at 15 mmHg for 15 min. After different periods (2, 12, 24, 48, and 96 h), the rats were killed, and the peritoneum was examined by scanning electron microscopy. Control animals (n = 5) were without pneumoperitoneum.
Results: The control animals and most of the rats with pneumoperitoneum showed no peritoneal alterations. In four animals of each group, inflammatory alterations of the peritoneum such as bulging and retraction of mesothelial cells were observed at different time points. Tumor cells adherent to the peritoneum were found in a total of six animals. Peritoneal carcinomatosis, tumor nodules, or infiltration of the peritoneum by tumor cells was not observed.
Conclusions: The study demonstrated that the morphologic integrity of the rat peritoneum is not disturbed when CO(2) or helium is used for insufflation combined with the intraperitoneal injection of carcinoma cells. Pneumoperitoneum therefore probably is not the condition causing peritoneal changes that favor intraperitoneal tumor growth.

Background: This is the second update of a Cochrane Review first published in 2013 and last updated in 2017. Laparoscopic surgery is now widely performed to treat various abdominal diseases. Currently, carbon dioxide is the most frequently used gas for insufflation of the abdominal cavity (pneumoperitoneum).

Background And Aims: This experimental study assesses the influence of different gases and insufflation pressures on the portal, central-venous and peripheral-arterial pH during experimental laparoscopy.
Methods: Firstly, 36 male WAG/Rij rats were randomized into six groups (n = 6) spontaneously breathing during anaesthesia: laparoscopy using carbon dioxide or helium at 6 and 12 mmHg, gasless laparoscopy and laparotomy. 45 and 90 min after setup, blood was sampled from the portal vein, vena cava and the common femoral artery with immediate blood gas analysis.

To review the effects of carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopy, evaluate alternative techniques to establishing a working space and compare this to current recommendations in veterinary surgery Literature review 92 peer-reviewed articles. An electronic database search identified human and veterinary literature on the effects of pneumoperitoneum (carbon dioxide insufflation for laparoscopy) and alternatives with a focus on adaptation to the veterinary field. Laparoscopy is the preferred surgical approach for many human and several veterinary procedures due to the lower morbidity associated with minimally invasive surgery, compared to laparotomy.

Background: Capnoperitoneum during laparoscopy leads to cranial shift of the diaphragm, loss in lung volume, and risk of impaired gas exchange. Infants are susceptible to these changes and bedside assessment of lung volume during laparoscopy might assist with optimizing the ventilation. Thus, the primary aim was to investigate the monitoring value of a continuous end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) assessment method based on CO dynamics ( ) in a pediatric capnoperitoneum model by evaluating the correlation and trending ability against helium washout (EELV ).

Unlabelled: . An exacerbated reaction to peritoneal infection and attendant surgical procedures is characterized by an intense hyperinflammatory state, the magnitude of which is proportional to the severity of tissue injury. Laparoscopy generates lower levels of tissue damage compared with open surgery and should induce less pronounced immune responses.
