Summary

The investigators want to test the hypothesis that the addition of a recruitment manoeuvre to a low pressure pneumoperitoneum will lead to an additional reduction in postoperative pain. Therefore the investigators will conduct a prospective randomized controlled, single blind trial.

Detailed description

Two groups: 1. A cholecystectomy at a low pressure pneumoperitoneum (8-10 mmHg) 2. A cholecystectomy at a lowpressure pneumoperitoneum (8-10mmhg) and at the end a pulmonary recruitment manoeuvre (5 sec at max 40 cmH2O).

Conditions

• Pneumoperitoneum
• Recruitment
• Postoperative Pain

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Pulmonary recruitment	At the end of surgery a manual pulmonary recruitment (5 sec, max 40 cmH2O) is given to the patiënt
PROCEDURE	No pulmonary recruitment	At the end of surgery no intervention was completed
