Abstract
Therapeutic laparoscopy has been rapidly accepted worldwide and currently accounts for an increasing proportion of intra-abdominal procedures, yet the influence of laparoscopic surgery on perioperative temperature homeostasis has received little attention. Evidence is emerging to suggest that the nature of insuflated gas plays a substantial role in the development or prevention of hypothermia during laparoscopy. Before considering the impact of insufflated gas, it is important to understand the pathogenesis and effects of perioperative hypothermia. Hypothermia has been defined as core temperature below 36C (14) and results from the influence of anesthesia, augmented by certain characteristics of the individual patient.
