High versus low pneumoperitoneum PressUre for parenchymal transection in minimally invasive major liver surgery (PPULS): a non-inferiority, multicenter, randomized, controlled trial

Low pneumoperitoneum pressure (LPP) lowers the incidence of CO2 embolisms in minimally invasive liver resections (MILR), while higher pneumoperitoneum pressure (HPP) reduces intraoperative blood loss. This contradiction necessitates careful pressure management especially in major liver resections wh...

Description
Summary:Low pneumoperitoneum pressure (LPP) lowers the incidence of CO2 embolisms in minimally invasive liver resections (MILR), while higher pneumoperitoneum pressure (HPP) reduces intraoperative blood loss. This contradiction necessitates careful pressure management especially in major liver resections where intraoperative blood loss greatly impacts postoperative outcome.
