PROCEDURE

Pneumoperitoneum Pressure

There will be two arms in this study. The participants recruited for this study are those who have been screened and planned for elective bariatric surgery.The pneumoperitoneum pressure will be adjusted to either 8-10mmHg or 12-15mmHg until a clear operating field is obtained by the surgeon. Low pneumoperitoneum pressure has been expected to give a clearer and better surgical view than standard pneumoperitoneum pressure. Participants under the low pressure group are expected to have lesser pain score on abdominal pain and shoulder tip pain as compared to participants in the standard pressure group.
