In the early days of manned space flight, experiments were done in which dogs and chimpanzees were exposed to near vacuum in anticipation of possible manned space flight accidents. These specimens experienced what was termed "ebullism". This syndrome involved boiling of body fluids resulting in extreme dehydration and circulatory failure. Whereas malignant tumors are typically warmer than normal tissue, it should be possible to destroy them while sparing normal tissue through this phenomenon by subjecting patients to low pressure slightly greater than that which would produce systemic ebullism.

Condensation on the scope lens as a result of differences between room and intraabdominal temperatures is a disturbing problem for laparoscopic surgeons. Despite the use of anti-lens condensation solutions, this cannot be entirely avoided. The authors report a simple, cheap, and effective method for preventing lens condensation by lens heating using a sterilized thermos flask filled with hot water.
