Journal of Pediatric Surgery
|May 31, 2001
Abstract
Purpose:
The aim of this study was to study the absorption time of CO(2) after laparoscopy in piglets.
Methods:
Laparoscopies were performed on 14 6-week-old piglets. The animals' abdomens were x-rayed immediately after closure 1, 1.5, and 2 hours postoperatively, and thereafter daily.
Results:
All CO(2) was absorbed completely within 1 day.
Conclusion:
CO(2) absorption may follow a similar time course in small children. J Pediatr Surg 36:913-916.
