Abstract

Carbon dioxide is no more likely to cause tumors to spread when used during laparoscopic surgery than helium or nitrous oxide, according to a study in rats. During laparoscopic surgery, carbon dioxide is used to inflate the abdomen so the surgeons can see the abdominal organs more clearly. However, laparoscopic surgery can cause the tumor to spread to the incision site.
