Answer 1

Ans) 11) a. The abdomen is inflated with carbon dioxide

Explaination:

- Laparoscopic surgery involves insufflation of a gas (usually carbon dioxide) into the peritoneal cavity producing a pneumoperitoneum. This causes an increase in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP). Carbon dioxide is insufflated into the peritoneal cavity at a rate of 4–6 litre min−1 to a pressure of 10–20 mm Hg.

12) a. Abdomen

Explaination:

- An indwelling urinary catheter is usually placed before laparoscopy (MIS of the abdomen or pelvic cavity) and in other selected cases according to the patient's condition.
