Abstract
A total of 120 patients were included of which 69 (57.5%) were male. Median age and BMI of the cohort was 67 years (51-75 years) and 27 kg/m2 (24-32 kg/m2), respectively. 61 (50.8%) patients were categorised as an ASA grade 3. Two (1.7%) patients had diverticular disease; 31 (25.9%) had IBD, and 87 (72.4%) were operated on for colonic malignancy. Low IAP (8mmHg) was used in 53 (44.2%) cases, whilst the remainder (55.8%) had IAP set at 15mmHg (conventional). Low-pressure surgery was associated with improved intraoperative lung compliance (p < 0.001) and peak inspiratory pressures up to 6 h (p < 0.001); reduced analgesic requirement (p ≤ 0.028), and decreased postoperative pain both at rest (p = 0.001) and on exertion (p < 0.001). Moreover, low IAP was associated with an earlier time to pass flatus postoperatively (p = 0.047) with no significant difference in length of hospital stay (p = 0.574). Additionally, no significant difference was observed between the groups for outcomes including median operating time (p = 0.089), conversion to open surgery (p = 0.056), overall complication rate (p = 0.102), and 90-day mortality (p = 0.381).
