Pneumoperitoneum in Cancer

  • Chapter
The Pathophysiology of Pneumoperitoneum

  • 118 Accesses

Abstract

The creation of pneumoperitoneum causes a host of physiologic responses which are described throughout this text. We have described in a concise manner the additional effects that must be considered when contemplating the creation of a pneumoperitoneum in a patient with cancerous disease. The use of pneumoperitoneum in a patient with cancer is unique because of the many pathophysiologic interactions that are just now beginning to be understood. The most obvious concern, and the one presently in the spotlight, is the concern of port site metastasis. In this chapter, we have attempted to summarize the important features of the relationship between pneumoperitoneum and port site recurrence, not only on a basic science level, but also from a clinical perspective.
