  • Surgical techniques
  • Minimally invasive surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic surgery requires reliable abdominal cavity access.
  • Evaluating established access methods is crucial for patient safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the safety and efficacy of open laparoscopy for abdominal access.
  • To determine the complication rate associated with open laparoscopy.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of open laparoscopy cases.
  • Data collected from August 1970 to June 1999.

Main Results:

  • 0.5% complication rate (27/5284 patients) related to primary access.
