Objective:
To analyse entry-related laparoscopic technique and complications.
Design:
Literary review.
Setting:
Department Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Endoscopic Training Centre, Hospital Kladno.
Method:
Peri- and postoperative complications of laparoscopic entry were assessed and analysed from database Medline and Current Contents.
Results:
There is helpful to classify intra-abdominal entry complications occurring after laparoscopy into the two types (type I and II). The risk of bowel damage, calculated from analysed studies was 0.4/1,000 and for major vessel injuries the risk was 0.2/1,000.
Conclusion:
The need to perforate the abdominal wall to perform laparoscopic intraabdominal surgery will probably always be associated with risk of damaging structures beneath. With good techniques and appropriate case selection, this risk of such complications should be occure less than 1 per 1,000 laparoscopies. None of the existing techniques or technologies completely eliminate the risk of type II damage.
