Evaluation of Coagulation Profile Alterations in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy With Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) Pneumoperitoneum
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy with CO₂ pneumoperitoneum creates a mild, subclinical hypercoagulable state marked by shortened clotting times and elevated fibrin degradation products. This state rarely causes symptomatic thrombosis in low-risk patients but warrants vigilance and prophylaxis in those with additional risk factors.
