Lumboperitoneal shunts are widely used for the treatment of patients diagnosed with pseudotumor cerebri (PTC). Obesity is a risk factor for PTC. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We review the literature for PPCs, including pneumothorax, hydrothorax, hydropneumothorax, and pleural effusion following laparoscopy, and also present a recent case of hydropneumothorax seen at our institution. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We collected data to compare using this new method of peritoneal insufflation with using Palmer's point for pneumoperitoneum. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Next, insuffltate carbon dioxide at a low flow rate of 2 liters/minute, allowing the patient to adapt gradually to the pneumoperitoneum. [gfmer.ch]

Five different techniques were used to achieve pneumoperitoneum: closed laparoscopy with Veress needle, open laparoscopy, direct entry, subcostal insufflation, and transfundal insufflation. [glowm.com]
