Abstract
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to study the absorption time of CO(2) after laparoscopy in piglets. METHODS: Laparoscopies were performed on 14 6-week-old piglets. The animals' abdomens were x-rayed immediately after closure 1, 1.5, and 2 hours postoperatively, and thereafter daily. RESULTS: All CO(2) was absorbed completely within 1 day. CONCLUSION: CO(2) absorption may follow a similar time course in small children. J Pediatr Surg 36:913-916. Copyright 2001 by W.B. Saunders Company.
