Pulmonary recruitment maneuver can reduce intensity of Post-laparoscopic shoulder pain
Laparoscopy has been widely used in various abdominal surgeries, such as gastrectomy, cholecystectomy, appendectomy, hernia and gynecological surgery.
Laparoscopy is among the most used minimally invasive procedures that may reduce postoperative pain, lessen the duration of hospital stay and facilitate recovery earlier than laparotomy. However, the post-laparoscopic shoulder pain (PLSP) is often occurs following laparoscopic surgeries, and its reported incidence varies from 35–80%.
