Laparoscopic abdominal surgery is considered a low-risk procedure for postoperative complications because of reduced surgical stress and earlier mobilization. We report two patients who experienced pulmonary embolism following laparoscopic surgery; one patient underwent umbilical hernia repair and the other cholecystectomy. Although pulmonary embolism is indeed rare after laparoscopic surgery, early detection and early treatment are determinative factors for a good prognosis. Therefore, medical caregivers must remember that pulmonary embolism can be a critical complication after laparoscopic surgery and preventive measures should be employed for high-risk subjects.
由于手术应激减轻和更早活动，腹腔镜腹部手术被认为是术后并发症风险较低的手术。我们报告了两名在腹腔镜手术后发生肺栓塞的患者；一名患者接受了脐疝修补术，另一名接受了胆囊切除术。尽管腹腔镜手术后肺栓塞确实罕见，但早期发现和早期治疗是预后良好的决定性因素。因此，医护人员必须牢记，肺栓塞可能是腹腔镜手术后的严重并发症，应对高危患者采取预防措施。
