    Open laparoscopy is gaining attention, but its role varies. While some surgeons prefer closed laparoscopy, others adopt open techniques for safety and training, especially for complex cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Minimally Invasive Surgery
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Open laparoscopy is increasingly discussed in the US and internationally.
    • Opinions vary regarding its optimal application in laparoscopic procedures.
    • Some centers are adopting open laparoscopy, particularly for training and specific indications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the current landscape and differing perspectives on open laparoscopy.
    • To examine the adoption and potential role of open laparoscopy in various healthcare settings.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of current practices and expert opinions on open versus closed laparoscopy.
    • Analysis of equipment distribution and availability in the US.
    • Consideration of international program experiences and guidelines.

    Main Results:

    • Divergent approaches exist, with some surgeons maintaining closed laparoscopy while others embrace open techniques.
    • Organizations like Planned Parenthood advocate for open laparoscopy and minilaparotomy for enhanced patient safety.
    • Open laparoscopy equipment is becoming more accessible in US hospitals, though comprehensive safety studies are pending.

    Conclusions:

    • The role of open laparoscopy is still evolving, with varying adoption rates and ongoing debate.
    • Further research is needed to fully evaluate the safety and efficacy of open laparoscopy, especially in comparison to closed techniques.
    • Comparisons of complication rates must account for case selection, as open laparoscopy is often reserved for more complex procedures.
