Abstract
Laparoscopy is the process of inspecting the abdominal cavity through an endoscope. Carbon dioxide is most universally used to insufflate the abdominal cavity to facilitate the view. However, several pathophysiological changes occur after carbon dioxide insufflation as pneumoperitoneum and extremes of patient positioning.
Careful choice of the anesthetic technique must be tailored to the type of surgery. General anesthesia using balanced anesthesia technique including several intravenous and inhalational agents with the use of muscle relaxants showed a rapid recovery and cardiovascular stability. Peripheral nerve blocks and neuraxial anesthesia were both considered as safe alternative to general anesthesia for outpatient pelvic laparoscopy without associated respiratory depression. Local anesthesia infiltration has shown to be effective and safe in microlaparoscopy for limited and precise gynecologic procedures. However, intravenous sedation is sometimes required.
With the realization of smaller incisions, better cosmesis, less postoperative pain, same-day surgery, speedier postoperative recovery, and the potential for reduced complications, laparoscopic approaches have all but replaced the traditional laparotomic alternatives for certain commonly performed surgical procedures.
Laparoscopy is not risk free. The complications associated with laparoscopy include those related to surgical instrumentation, creation of the pneumoperitoneum, and patient positioning.
