Impact of pneumoperitoneum on tumor growth

Abstract: In these solid tumor models, CO2 pneumoperitoneum had no deleterious effect on tumor growth when compared to gasless laparoscopy or midline laparotomy.

“…However, the occurrence of port-site metastasis and peritoneal metastasis reported in early studies of laparoscopic surgery for cancer led to many studies investigating the biologic effects of positive pressure pneumoperitoneum on tumor growth and the development of trocar recurrences. Several experimental studies suggested that laparoscopic surgery can promote tumor growth [6,19] . Some animal studies have also shown that CO2, especially at high insufflation pressures increased the incidence of distant metastases [20,21] .…”

“…Recently, several studies demonstrated that the five-year sur vival rates were similar after laparoscopically assisted colectomy and open colectomy for cancer patients, suggesting that the laparoscopic approach is an acceptable alternative to open surgery for colorectal cancer [3][4][5] . However, whether CO2 insufflation, which is widely used in laparoscopic surgery, increases the metastatic potential of tumor cells is still the focus of related studies [6][7][8] .…”

“…Whether CO 2 pneumoperitoneum will promote trocar implantation and extensive abdominal metas- tasis after laparoscopic tumor operation was widely discussed in recent ten years, but there were still no conclusions (Zhang and Kong, 2004;Leister et al, 2003;Yavuz et al, 2003 (Hirabayashi et al, 2002;Lecuru et al, 2002). But these factors could not explain why He pneumoperitoneum would not promote trocar implantation (Neuhaus et al, 1998).…”

“…In in-vitro experiments, the SKOV3 ovarian carcinoma cell line was found to show increased growth under the influence of CO 2 [8]. By contrast, in various studies in which the nude rat model was used, neither the laparoscopy gas used nor laparoscopy itself was found to have any influence on various tumor parameters such as the weight of the omentum, metastases, survival of the animals or circulating tumor DNA, in comparison with laparotomy [5,9,10,11,12]. However, Canis et al [6] observed increased tumor growth after laparotomy in the BD IX rat model in comparison with animals that underwent laparoscopic procedures.…”
