==Risks== Risks and complications of minimally invasive procedures are the same as for any other [[surgery|surgical operation]], among the risks are: death, bleeding, [[infection]], organ injury, and [[thromboembolic disease]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Minimally Invasive Surgery. Keyhole Surgery information. |url=https://patient.info/doctor/minimally-invasive-surgery |access-date=2017-05-25 |website=patient.info |language=en-GB}}</ref> There may be an increased risk of [[hypothermia]] and peritoneal trauma due to increased exposure to cold, dry gases during [[Insufflation (medicine)|insufflation]]. The use of [[surgical humidification]] therapy, which is the use of heated and humidified CO<sub>2</sub> for insufflation, may reduce this risk.<ref>{{Cite journal |vauthors=Peng Y, Zheng M, Ye Q, Chen X, Yu B, Liu B |date=January 2009 |title=Heated and humidified CO<sub>2</sub> prevents hypothermia, peritoneal injury, and intra-abdominal adhesions during prolonged laparoscopic insufflations |journal=The Journal of Surgical Research |volume=151 |issue=1 |pages=40β7 |doi=10.1016/j.jss.2008.03.039 |pmid=18639246}}</ref>
