There are 4 basic techniques used to create pneumoperitoneum: • blind Veress needle • direct trocar insertion • optical trocar insertion • open laparoscopy Gu¨nenc et al. Surg Laparosc Endosc Percutan Tech, 2005
In 578 laparoscopic procedures: • blind insertion of the Veress needle (group 1, n = 301) • direct trocar insertion with elevation of the rectus sheath using 2 towel clips (group 2, n = 277). Gu¨nenc et al. Surg Laparosc Endosc Percutan Tech, 2005
Results: Total complication rates: • gr 1 = 15.7% (n = 33) • gr 2 = 3.3% (n = 4) (P < 0.05) Conclusion: Direct trocar insertion with elevation of the rectus sheath using 2 towel clips is an easy, safe, and effective technique. Gu¨nenc et al. Surg Laparosc Endosc Percutan Tech, 2005
Having been a Veress needle advocate throughout my career, I am loath to change. However, this scientifically well-done study gives me “pause”; quicker pneumoperitoneum with fewer complications is certainly a compelling argument for considering a change. Ralph V. Clayman, J of urol. Pg 1847. Nov, 2005
Organ retrieval • Intact through an enlarged incision • After placement into a sac. • The kidney can be worked out of • an extended trocar site • Pfannenstiel incision. • Morcellation. • The specimen should be placed into LapSac • Ring forceps and a Kocher clamp & removed in small pieces.
