Abstract:
The authors describe a simple and available abdominal wall-lift technique for endoscopic surgery that involves a new suction lifter that they designed for laparoscopic surgery. Since July 1998, the authors have used this technique successfully in eight patients with appendicitis, in one patient with a perforated duodenal ulcer, and in one patient with an adenoma of the ascending colon.
