Abdominal Compliance and Laparoscopy: A Review.

Conclusions: Abdominal compliance has its limits, is unique for each patient and pressure-volume curves cannot be easily predicted. Using the lowest possible pressure to accomplish the surgical task without compromising surgical outcome is the desired goal. The clinical importance is caution and knowing there is a point where more pressure does not increase working space and only increases pressure. PMID: 30828242 [PubMed - in process]
