title: The stimulus for vasopressin release during laparoscopy.
abstract: The results of our study have demonstrated raised AVP secretion during laparoscopy, which was stimulated by the maximal increase in IAP. We propose that this relationship is mediated by way of known hemodynamic pathways occurring during laparoscopy involving a reduction in intrathoracic blood volume.
