A total of 178 patients were randomized to high or low pressure pneumoperitoneum. Quality of recovery score was significantly improved on day one after low pressure pneumoperitoneum (167 versus 159, P=0.005). Inflammatory markers were also reduced. Pain scores were lower and there were fewer infectious complications.

Comment: But is the view as good?
