Gasless laparoscopic cholecystectomy: comparison of postoperative recovery with conventional technique.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Cyclic redistribution of air within the cuff during respiratory pressure changes creates a self-sealing mechanism which allows tracheal sealing, despite tracheal airway pressure being above baseline cuff inflation pressure. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of continuous automated cu...
