Abstract
BACKGROUND: Reduced postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) compared to open cholecystectomy (OC) may be able to be further optimized. To reduce pain, focus should be directed on the effects of individual components of pain. METHODS: A double-blind, randomized, controlled trial was carried out in a tertiary care hospital. Fifty-three elective patients with symptomatic gallstones were enrolled into the study. Patients were randomized to low- or high-pressure pneumoperitoneum groups. In all patients, gas pressure was set to 15 mmHg during placement of ports. Later on, in the low-pressure group, the rest of the procedure was performed at 10 mmHg pressure. At 6 and 24 h postoperatively, a short-form McGill Questionnaire (MPQ) was obtained from all patients. Patients were then asked to complete a 10-cm visual analogue scale (VAS) for abdominal pain. RESULTS: Pain scores were generally low for both groups. Statistical comparisons of mean cumulative McGill score and VAS abdominal pain scores in both groups did not reach statistical significance at 6 and 24 h after operation. CONCLUSION: There was no correlation between high- and low-pressure laparoscopy and postoperative pain after LC. Peritoneal stretching may be more responsible for shoulder pain but has less effect on intensity of abdominal pain or incisional pain. On the basis of these negative findings, routine use of low-pressure pneumoperitoneum for alleviation of postoperative pain following LC is not recommended.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
