Brief Summary  

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy  (LC) is  the preferred surgical procedure for gall stone disease.   About 21% to 80 % patients  undergoing LC suffer from shoulder pain (SP) in the early post-operative period, which can lead to patient dissatisfaction and discomfort. The most  common etiology of shoulder pain is due to the stretching of peritoneum and diaphragmatic irritation by the carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum used for LC .

Pneumoperitoneum  is created with the carbondioxide  to inflate the abdomen. This allows the visualisation of internal organs and provides adequate working space for instrument manoeuvrability. Intra-abdominal pressure of 12–16 mm of Hg is accepted as standard intra-peritoneal pressure for adequate working space and organ visualisation. Increased intraabdominal pressure may also have negative implications on cardiovascular, pulmonary, and intraabdominal organ functionings.   Attempts are being made to reduce the incidence of shoulder pain by keeping the intra-abdominal pressure at a lower level. In literature, low-pressure PNP is generally defined as an intraabdominal pressure of 6–10 mmHg.11 The main criticism of low pressure pneumoperitoneum is its ability to provide adequate surgical exposure and hence its safety.

The present randomised study is designed to evaluate the impact of intra-abdominal pressure on post-operative pain and surgeons’ satisfaction in LC.
