“…It is also associated with a decreased number of lymphocytes and poorer function 69 . As in the study by Kase et al 70 , Ogawa et al 69 also found a decrease in the helper-inducer T, cytotoxic T, NK and IL-2R-positive cell numbers immediately after operation. In contrast, the numbers of suppressor T cells increased after the second postoperative day.…”

Despite a few contradictory reports, systemic immunity appears to be better preserved after laparoscopic surgery than after open surgery. However, the local intraperitoneal immune system behaves in a particular way when exposed to carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum; suppression of intraperitoneal cell-mediated immunity has been demonstrated in a number of studies. This feature may be clinically important and should be acknowledged when considering laparoscopic surgery in patients with malignancy or sepsis.
