Optimizing Surgical Conditions During Gynecologic Laparoscopic Surgery With Deep Neuromuscular Blockade

To investigate if deep neuromuscular blockade improves intraabdominal volume compared to no neuromuscular blockade in patients scheduled for gynecologic laparoscopic surgery with pneumoperitoneum 12 mmHg.

Hypothesis:

Deep neuromuscular blockade improves intraabdominal space (the distance from promontorium to skin surface, cm) compared to no neuromuscular blockade.
