    Area of Science:

    • Minimally Invasive Surgery
    • Gynecologic Laparoscopy

    Background:

    • Pneumoperitoneum is traditionally required before laparoscope trocar insertion.
    • This study challenges the necessity of pre-established pneumoperitoneum.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of direct trocar insertion without prior pneumoperitoneum.
    • To assess operative complications and patient outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Documented results from 1,108 consecutive laparoscopies using direct trocar insertion.
    • Focused on sterilization procedures with the Falope Ring, using minimal carbon dioxide.

    Main Results:

    • No technical failures or operative complications were observed.
    • Reduced post-operative abdominal and shoulder pain reported.

  • Significant subcutaneous hemorrhage occurred but resolved without treatment.
  • The method was effective in obese patients.

    • Conclusions:

    • Direct trocar insertion without pre-established pneumoperitoneum is a viable and safe laparoscopic technique.
    • This approach can lead to decreased post-operative pain and discomfort.
    • Further investigation into subcutaneous hemorrhage is warranted.
