Laparoscopic surgery is currently used in an array of diverse clinical situations, including cases with potential bacterial contamination. Previous studies have shown that CO2 insufflation during laparoscopic procedures modulates the immune response due to the acidification of the peritoneum. In the present study, we investigated whether exposure of macrophages to an acidic environment, such as that produced by CO2 insufflation, could affect phagocytosis, which is the fundamental process for bacterial clearance.
