A unifying diagnosis was made and based on a literature search in Pubmed appears to be the first described case of its kind.

Infrarenal aortic crossclamping was performed for 60 minutes in groups I (laparotomy, n=6) and II (laparoscopy, n=6). Group III (laparoscopy, n=6) underwent a 120-minute long pneumoperitoneum in absence of aortic clamping (sham group). Ventilatory and hemodynamic parameters and renal function were serially determined in all groups. A significant decrease in pH and significant increase in PaCO2 were observed in group II, whereas no changes in these parameters were seen in group I and III. All variables returned to values similar to baseline in groups I and II 60 minutes after dec...
