Subcutaneous emphysema and hypercarbia during diagnostic gynecologic laparoscopy: A case report

Diagnostik ve operatif laparoskopiler nispeten güvenli girişimler olmakla birlikte başlıca Veress iğnesi ve trokar yerleştirilmesine bağlı olarak komplikasyonlar görülebilir. Laparoskopide, pnömoperitonyum sırasında nadiren oluşan subkutanöz amfizem bildirilmiştir. Olgu sunumunda bu komplikasyonun gelişim mekanizması ve yönetilmesi tartışıldı.

Diagnostik jinekolojik laparoskopi sırasında oluşan subkutanöz amfizem ve hiperkarbi: Olgu sunumu

Diagnostic and therapeutic laparoscopy is a relatively safe invasive procedure, but complications can occur, mainly related to Veress needle and trocar insertion. The rare occurrence of subcutaneous emphysema, as a consequence of pneumoperitoneum, following laparoscopy, is reported. The mechanism for the development of this complication and its management are discussed.
