This review article considers the physiology, differential diagnosis and
immediate management of vasovagal response, vascular injury and carbon
dioxide embolism caused during creation of the laparoscopic
pneumoperitonium. These pathologies account for over half of all
laparoscopic complications and therefore, by taking a systematic
approach to these possibly life-threatening events, laparoscopy can
become even safer.05 Jul 2022Submitted to BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology 13 Jul 2022Submission Checks Completed
