• Status: Unknown

• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

Given the observations in animal models and the available data in the human our hypothesis is that peritoneal cavity conditioning (carbon dioxide with 4% of oxygen and 10% of N2O, 100% humidification at 32°C,) during open surgery, will result in an important decrease in postoperative peritoneal inflammation, postoperative pain, and will restore bowel transit faster.

Detailed description

Aim of the Trial : RCT demonstrating that peritoneal cavity conditioning during open surgery will result in a less postoperative inflammation, less postoperative pain, and shorter time to flatus and transit.
