Abstract
Background: High CO 2 pneumoperitoneum pressure during laparoscopy adversely affects the peritoneal environment. This study hypothesized that low pneumoperitoneum pressure may be linked to less peritoneal damage and possibly to better clinical outcomes.
Materials and methods: One hundred patients undergoing scheduled laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomized 1:1 to low or to standard pneumoperitoneum pressure. Peritoneal biopsies were performed at baseline time and 1 hour after peritoneum insufflation in all patients. The primary outcome was peritoneal remodeling biomarkers and apoptotic index. Secondary outcomes included biomarker differences at the studied times and some clinical variables such as length of hospital stay, and quality and safety issues related to the procedure.
Results: Peritoneal IL6 after 1 hour of surgery was significantly higher in the standard than in the low-pressure group (4.26±1.34 vs. 3.24±1.21; P =0.001). On the contrary, levels of connective tissue growth factor and plasminogen activator inhibitor-I were higher in the low-pressure group (0.89±0.61 vs. 0.61±0.84; P =0.025, and 0.74±0.89 vs. 0.24±1.15; P =0.028, respectively). Regarding apoptotic index, similar levels were found in both groups and were 44.0±10.9 and 42.5±17.8 in low and standard pressure groups, respectively. None of the secondary outcomes showed differences between the 2 groups.
Conclusions: Peritoneal inflammation after laparoscopic cholecystectomy is higher when surgery is performed under standard pressure. Adhesion formation seems to be less in this group. The majority of patients undergoing surgery under low pressure were operated under optimal workspace conditions, regardless of the surgeon's expertise.
