Abstract


 


Previous data established that laparoscopic cholecystectomic does not effect pulmonary function tests. Preoperative and postoperative pulmonary function tests were compared in 20 laparoscopic cholecystectomy cases. Twenty non smoker patients were studied. PA radiography, FVC, FEV1, FVC/FEV1 and FEF were measured preoperatively and postoperative 24 hours. All the tests at postoperative 24 hours showed decreases when compared with preoperative results but statistically insignificant (p>0.05) PA graphies showed no important difference. We concluded that pulmonary function test are affected by laparascopic cholecystectomy but this is not important. [Journal of Turgut Ozal Medical Center 1997;4(4):424-426]

Key Words: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, pulmonary function tests
