Effect Low Pressure Pneumoperitoneum and Pulmonary Recruitment on Postoperative Pain

General Hospital Groeninge80 enrolled

Overview

The investigators want to test the hypothesis that the addition of a recruitment manoeuvre to a low pressure pneumoperitoneum will lead to an additional reduction in postoperative pain. Therefore the investigators will conduct a prospective randomized controlled, single blind trial.

Two groups: 1. A cholecystectomy at a low pressure pneumoperitoneum (8-10 mmHg) 2. A cholecystectomy at a lowpressure pneumoperitoneum (8-10mmhg) and at the end a pulmonary recruitment manoeuvre (5 sec at max 40 cmH2O).
