Abstract: A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility and safety of low pressure co2 pneumoperitoneum versus standard pressure co2 pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic cholecystectomy after receiving approval from ethical committee. Patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were enrolled in the study after fulfilling eligibility criteria. According to surgical approach patients were randomly divided into two groups of 50 patients each, group A and group B respectively. Group a Patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy with low pressure co2 pneumoperitoneum [less than 8 mmHg] while group B patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy under standard pressure co2 pneumoperitoneum [12 to 15 mmHg]. The following parameters were assessed primarily in terms of incidence of pain in post-operative period, changes in cardiorespiratory, changes in the organ system functions and length of the hospital stay.
