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

Flexible pyeloscopy for removal of caliceal stones using triradial graspers
The renal pelvis is sewn to the corresponding corner of the ureter (EndoStitch device shown).
Auto suturing • 6 surgeons with laparoscopic experience were trained on the three suturing techniques. • A pelvic trainer was set up with a freshly marked and incised swine renal pelvis and ureter • 216 knots • Knot was individually tested on a Monsanto Model 10 tensiometer (slippage, strength, and breakage points) Pattaras et al, J Endourol. 2001 Mar
