    Area of Science:

    • Minimally Invasive Surgery
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Gynecological Endoscopy

    Context:

    • The optimal method for initial abdominal access in laparoscopic surgery is a long-standing debate.
    • Various techniques exist, including closed (Veress needle), open laparoscopy, and direct trocar insertion.
    • The Clinic of Gynecology at the Military Medical Academy, Sofia, Bulgaria, utilizes and evaluates these approaches.

    Purpose:

    • To review and compare the advantages and disadvantages of different laparoscopic entry techniques.
    • To highlight the benefits of open laparoscopy based on literature search and clinical experience.
    • To inform the decision-making process for safe and effective laparoscopic access.

    Summary:

    • Open laparoscopy provides a precisely controlled entry into the abdominal cavity.
    • This technique is associated with low trauma and minimal risk of vascular or organ injury.
    • Advantages include efficiency, applicability in diverse surgical scenarios, and suitability for patients with prior abdominal surgeries.

    Impact:

    • Open laparoscopy emerges as a highly controlled and safe method for abdominal entry in gynecological procedures.
    • Properly executed open laparoscopy can reduce operative time and intraoperative risks.
    • This technique is adaptable for complex cases, including those with adhesions from previous operations.
