Restoration of Pulmonary Compliance After Laparoscopic Gynaecologic Surgery Using a Recruitment Maneuver

This study looks at how **lung function** can be improved after laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. Laparoscopic surgery is a type of surgery that uses small cuts and a camera, making it less painful and with quicker recovery. But, during this surgery, air is pumped into the belly (called **pneumoperitoneum**) which can make it hard to breathe because it pushes on the lungs. The study will test if a special breathing technique called **alveolar recruitment maneuver** can help the lungs work better. This technique involves adjusting the air pressure in the lungs to help them expand more easily. The study includes 31 women who are having this type of surgery and will measure lung function throughout the process. The study is done in a hospital's operating room.

• The study takes place during surgery lasting over 90 minutes.
• Participants must be over 18 years old and having gynecologic laparoscopic surgery.
• People with certain lung problems or a BMI over 30 cannot join.
