Comparative Study between Laparoscopic and Non-Laparoscopic Surgeries on Blood Sugar Levels Intraoperative

Main object: This study aimed to assess the impact of laparoscopic and non-laparoscopic procedures on the blood glucose levels of patients at Baghdad Hospital and Al-imam ALI Hospital in Baghdad, Iraq. Methodology: The study was conducted from 16 November 2023 to 2 March 2024. A total of 50 patients, aged between 15 and 58 years, were included in this study. There were 25 males and 25 females, all with an American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status of either I or II. The patients were divided into two groups based on the type of operation they underwent, with each group consisting of 25 patients. One group underwent laparoscopic surgery, while the other group underwent non-laparoscopic surgeries. The data obtained for all patients include their age, gender, weight, kind of operation, and measurements of blood sugar levels before, during, and after the operation. Results:There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of gender and age groups (P. Value > 0.05). In all surgical groups, 11 males (22%) and 14 females (28%) received surgery. Among these patients, 13 (26%) were between the ages of 32 and 42 and underwent non-laparoscopic surgery. Additionally, 9 patients (18%) in the age ranges of 21–31 and 32–42 underwent laparoscopic surgery. The blood glucose levels of patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery were significantly higher before, during, and after the operation compared to those who had non-laparoscopic surgery. Specifically, the levels were (96.2), (138.6), and (168.6) before, during, and after the operation respectively, while the levels for non-laparoscopic surgery were (76.9), (82.8), and (88). The difference in blood glucose levels during the operation was statistically significant with a P value of ( Conclusion: Laparoscopic surgery results in higher blood sugar levels in patients compared to nonlaparoscopic surgery.
