Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1. Intra-operative cardiorespiratory effects are measured by the anaesthetic machine monitoring system at 10 minute intervals. 2. Intra-operative surgical efficiency is measured at 10 minute intervals by: 2.1. Observing the number of times the laparoscope is cleaned, 2.2. Observing the number of times the laparoscopic ports are opened to remove gas 2.3. The intra-abdominal pressure established by the insufflation system 2.4. Recording the total operative time 3. Post-operative pain is measured by a visual analogue pain scale once a day for five days following surgery 4. Post-operative complications are recorded from patient note review the day after patient discharge from hospital;1.
