Results • The ideal position, the trunk horizontal and the legs flexed, increased the abdominal volume by 1000 ml at 15 mmHg in comparison with the horizontal position without leg flexion. • Reverse trendelenburg without leg flexion, the worst position, decreased the volume by 200 ml. Materials and Methods • The pneumoperitoneum inflated volume at 15 mmHg was measured in 20 morbid obese patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery (and approved by the hospital ethical committee. ) • This measurement was taken with a) table horizontal, legs flat; b) table in 20° reverse Trendelenburg, legs flat; c) table in 20° reverse Trendelenburg, legs flexed 45° upward at the hips; d) table horizontal, legs flexed 45° upward; and e) table in 20° Trendelenburg, legs flat. • Trendelenburg is never used in upper abdominal laparoscopy but was also investigated. • The inflated volume at 15 mmHg was measured for each position and an analysis of variance was performed on repeated measurements.
