    Single-puncture laparoscopy with lasers causes significant visual obstruction. For translaparoscopic surgery, the double-puncture technique is recommended to ensure adequate visualization during procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Minimally Invasive Surgery
    • Surgical Technology
    • Laparoscopy

    Background:

    • Translaparoscopic surgery has seen increased interest with laser technology.
    • Concerns exist regarding visual field obstruction during single-puncture laparoscopy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the extent of visual obstruction caused by ancillary instruments in single-puncture laparoscopy.
    • To compare single-puncture and double-puncture techniques for translaparoscopic surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Assessment of visual obstruction under normal operative conditions.
    • Measurement of visual field impairment with a 5-mm instrument protruding 10 mm.

    Main Results:

    • A 5-mm instrument protruding 10 mm obstructs 14.6% of the visual field.

  • Larger instruments, such as laser probes, cause even greater visualization curtailment.

    • Conclusions:

    • Single-puncture laparoscopy with lasers leads to significant visual obstruction.
    • The double-puncture laparoscopic technique is the preferred method for translaparoscopic surgery, including laser procedures.
