Abstract:
The open Hasson technique with a purse-string suture is generally favored among pediatric surgeons performing laparoscopy. This is a challenge in overweight and obese children and often leads to delays or conversion to laparotomy. In this article, we report our experience with an optical trocar for primary port access in overweight and obese children.
