Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Abdominal Surgery

Background:

  • Diagnostic pneumoperitoneum is a standard first step in laparoscopic procedures.
  • Pneumoperitoneum involves insufflating the abdomen with gas, which can lead to complications.
  • There is a need for alternative methods to create intra-abdominal space.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate an alternative to diagnostic pneumoperitoneum.
  • To assess the efficacy of the

Main Methods:

  • A

Main Results:

  • The hanger lifting method successfully created adequate intra-abdominal space for cholecystectomy.
  • Forty laparoscopic cholecystectomies were performed using this technique without complications.
