Abstract

Laparoscopy and robotic surgery have evolved in the last 30 years of minimally invasive surgery, and several authors have described the outcomes of these surgical approaches in different specialties. In this scenario, the importance of a surgeon’s familiarity with the physiologic principles of pneumoperitoneum and its effects on the patient is crucial to avoid complications and optimize operative outcomes. This chapter describes the basic physiology of pneumoperitoneum and potential complications arising from its use.
