Abstract:
Objective To observe the length of duration of free gas presence in abdomen after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Methods A Series of chest X-ray examinations following LC in 69 patients in this hospital from April 2002 to December 2002 were taken to review the condition of subphrenic free gas. Results Gas was detected on (1.8?1.1) days following LC and was completely absorbed within 6 days after LC. The logarithm of the length of duration of pneumoperitoneum had a parallel relationship with the subphrenic residual gas volume within 24 postoperative hours ( r =0.616, P =0.000), bore a negative relationship with the pneumoperitoneum time ( r =-0.228, P =0.014), and was not correlated with age, body weight, height, operation time and consumption of CO 2. Conclusions Clearing intraabdominal CO 2 gas away so far as possible can shorten the length of duration of gas presence in abdomen.
