Laparoscopy has been increasingly used in medical and veterinary routine in order to promote less invasive surgical and diagnostic interventions. Despite its benefits, there is evidence that abdominal insufflation can lead to ischemia of the organs, followed by reperfusion injury. Some medications have been used in attempts to prevent or minimize the damage that can be caused by injury ischemia/reperfusion. This study aimed to assess whether the use of oral sildenafil, prior to the pneumoperitoneum, was able to mitigate these effects of ischemia/reperfusion. We used 26 male Wistar rats, divided in 3 groups: control (6) Sham (10) and S/P (10). The S/P group was supplemented with 1 mg/kg of oral sildenafil citrate. The animals of the sham group and S/P were subjected to pneumoperitoneum for 60 minutes with intra-abdominal pressure of 12mmHg. The right carotid artery was dissected and cannulated in order to collect blood samples and evaluated oxygenation and ventilation variables (partial pressure of oxygen, partial pressure of carbon dioxide and oxygen saturation). During the procedure, hemodynamic variables were also evaluated (heart rate, respiratory rate and mean arterial pressure). After 24 hours the animals were euthanized and their kidneys were collected for dosage of oxidative stress by measuring the activity of antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutationaperoxidase, besides the by-product of lipid peroxidation, hydroperoxide. The results observed for the hemodynamic variables and also oxygenation and ventilation, showed no difference when comparing the diferente times whithin the same group, and compared between groups. The values found for the antioxidant enzyme activity were similar in the S/P and control group. It was observed that the activities of the enzymes glutathione peroxidase and catalase were markedly increased, while superoxide dismutase had a significant decrease. The by-product of lipid peroxidation, hydroperoxide, was also lower in the control groups and S/P when compared to the sham group. These results indicate that the control group, like the S/P group have a greater ability to protect against oxidative insult. Thus, it can be concluded that sildenafil citrate when used prior to the pneumoperitoneum was able to reduce the oxidative stress caused by ischemia and reperfusion injury.
