About this trial

The goal of this observational study is to learn how the length of pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery may affect changes in blood bicarbonate levels. Pneumoperitoneum is the use of carbon dioxide gas to create space inside the abdomen during laparoscopic surgery.

The main question this study aims to answer is whether a longer pneumoperitoneum time is associated with changes in blood bicarbonate levels after surgery.

Participants are adults undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair as part of their routine medical care. Researchers will measure blood gas values, including bicarbonate levels, before surgery and again two hours after surgery. The change in bicarbonate levels will be compared with the duration of pneumoperitoneum during the operation.

The results of this study may help improve the understanding of metabolic changes that occur during laparoscopic surgery.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥18 years

Patients undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair using the TAPP technique

Ability to provide informed consent

Disqualifiers

Pregnancy

Severe cardiovascular disease

Renal insufficiency

Patients requiring additional intra-abdominal surgical procedures

Trial population

Adult patients undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (TAPP) at Haseki Training and Research Hospital will be included. Perioperative pneumoperitoneum duration and serum bicarbonate changes will be analyzed using blood gas measurements obtained preoperatively and at the second postoperative hour.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair (TAPP)

    Procedure/Surgery

    Standard laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair performed using the transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) technique as part of routine clinical care. Pneumoperitoneum duration during the procedure will be recorded for analysis.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change in Serum Bicarbonate Level

Difference between preoperative and postoperative second-hour serum bicarbonate levels measured by blood gas analysis in patients undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Unit of Measure: mmol/L

Time frame
Preoperative to postoperative 2 hours

Secondary outcomes

1

Postoperative Pain Score

Postoperative pain intensity measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The scale ranges from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain. Higher scores represent greater pain severity. Unit of Measure: VAS score (0-10)

Time frame
Within 24 hours after surgery
2

Change in Arterial Blood pH

Change in arterial blood pH measured during pneumoperitoneum. Unit of Measure: pH

Time frame
Preoperative to postoperative 2 hours
3

Early Postoperative Complications

Early postoperative complications occurring within the first 24 hours after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.

Time frame
Within 24 hours
4

Change in Arterial Partial Pressure of Carbon Dioxide

Change in arterial PaCO₂ levels measured intraoperatively. Unit of Measure: mmHg

Time frame
Preoperative to postoperative 2 hours
