Effect of Carbondioxide Pneumoperitoneum on Liver Enzymes Following Laproscopic Cholecystectomy In Rural Indian Population

Abstract

Introduction: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, a minimal-access procedure for removing the gallbladder, has various benefits, including a significantly shorter hospital stay ,lower cost and a low patient comorbidity Materials and Methods:- this was a prospective study. The study was conducted on 60 patients of cholecystectomy ,who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy under constant intraperitoneal pressure of 15mmhg in GEMS medical hospital, ragolu, Srikakulam, Andhra Pradesh. This study was designed to evaluate the complications of carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum in laparoscopic cholecystectomy using the liver enzymes Results:- Total bilirubin pre-operative was 0.72±0.13 mg/dl, increased 24 h after surgery to 1.11 ± 0.30 mg/dl by 138% . Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) pre-operative was 19.523 ± 16 U/l increased 24 h after surgery to 30.12± 18.35 U/l by 154 %. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was 22.58 ± 5.09 U/l increased 24 h after surgery to 38.62 ± 12.15U/l by 171%. Alkaline phosphatase pre-operative values were 103.8 ± 23.32 U/ and after 24 h was 147.8 ± 36.54 U/l by 142 % Conclusion: laparoscopic operations produce a transient rise in serum liver enzymes ,our study too demonstrated bilirubin, AST, ALT, ALP elevated following laparoscopic cholecystectomy . when combined with data from earlier research These changes could be attributable to a decrease in portal venous flow caused by a pneumoperitoneum's high pressures.
