Severe Local Hypothermia from Laparoscopic Gas Evaporative Jet Cooling: A Mechanism To Explain Clinical Observations

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Explanations for laparoscopic-induced hypothermia fail to explain clinical observations. It is possible that water evaporation occurs from the jet stream of gas inflation resulting in tissue surface super-cooling leading to tissue damage and drying. METHODS: Theoretical ca...
