Comparison of impacts of intraperitoneal saline instillation with and without pulmonary recruitment maneuver on post-laparoscopic shoulder pain prevention: a randomized controlled trial

Therefore, considering the potential risks of pulmonary or hemodynamic complications associated with RM, the single strategy using SI alone might be a better choice than the combined strategy.
