Although the objective advantages of laparoscopic surgery over the conventional approach, its implementation involves a number of important pathophysiological changes determined by the installation of a pneumoperitoneum of CO2 by placing the patient in Trendelenburg position. These changes induce a number of important clinical implications that manifest at the level of the respiratory, cardiovascular, nervous and Internal environment that lead to the analysis of a set of anesthesiologic considerations aimed at correcting these abnormalities and prevent the development of complications.
