- Abstract
Laparoscopic surgery is evolving rapidly. It involves the creation of a pneumoperitoneum, mostly using carbon dioxide. Cooling of the peritoneum, due to insufflation, might traumatize the peritoneum and disturb peritoneal fibrinolysis, important in peritoneal healing processes. The current study was performed to elucidate the effects of the temperature of insufflation gas on the peritoneal fibrinolytic response to laparoscopic surgery.
