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).

Objective: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a common procedure for gallbladder diseases, but many patients experience shoulder pain due to pneumoperitoneum. This study investigates the comparative effectiveness of warm carbon dioxide gas insufflation versus local heat application in reducing shoulder pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We also examined changes in body temperature during surgery and postoperative shivering in the intervention and control groups.

Advances in machine learning and computer vision technologies have led to the development of several artificial intelligence (AI) tools to detect abnormalities on CXRs, which may expand diagnostic support to a wider field of health professionals. There is a paucity of evidence on the impact of AI algorithms in assisting healthcare professionals (other than radiologists) who regularly review CXR images in their daily practice.

Purpose: Low intraabdominal pressure (IAP) during laparoscopy is associated with improved post-operative outcomes across a variety of surgical specialties. A prospective cohort study was undertaken to assess post-operative outcomes in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery (LCRS) with low (8mmHg) versus conventional (15mmHg) IAP.
Methods: A prospective real-world observational study of patients undergoing LCRS in a single-centre, between June 2020 and June 2023 was performed.
