Safer abdominal access is crucial due to rising endoscopic surgery complications. A new vacuum-supported visual access technique minimizes injury risks by elevating the peritoneum for clear visualization and controlled entry.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Access Techniques
  • Abdominal Surgery

Background:

  • Increasing number of endoscopic operations leads to more severe complications.
  • Current abdominal access methods pose risks of injury to internal organs and blood vessels.
  • There is a critical need for safer surgical access techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel technique for safer abdominal access during endoscopic procedures.
  • To reduce the incidence of severe complications associated with surgical entry.
  • To enhance surgeon's ability to visualize and avoid critical structures.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a vacuum-supported visual access technique.
  • Utilizing negative pressure to elevate the peritoneum (pre-peritoneal approach).

  • Minimizing insufflation needle insertion depth and facilitating puncture.

    • Main Results:

    • The technique allows anticipation and avoidance of dangerous access sites.
    • Pre-peritoneal visualization of structures behind the peritoneum is achieved.
    • Adherence to open surgery principles during abdominal access, preventing visceral injury.

    Conclusions:

    • Vacuum-supported visual access offers a safer method for entering the abdominal cavity.
    • The technique significantly reduces the risk of iatrogenic injuries during endoscopic surgery.
    • This approach enhances patient safety by improving surgical access.
