Insufflation pressure and its effect on shoulder tip pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy – A single-blinded, randomised study on 200 patients

ConclusionReducing the pressure of the pneumoperitoneum to 8–10 mmHg did not lower the incidence and intensity of postoperative STP. It can jeopardise the surgeon's comfort because of inadequate exposure. Routine use of low-pressure pneumoperitoneum in LC cannot be recommended.
