Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Standard laparoscopic access methods, including Veress needle insertion and Hasson-type cannula placement, have inherent disadvantages.
  • Veress needle use poses risks in patients with intra-abdominal adhesions or obesity.
  • Hasson-type cannulas may not ensure an adequate gas seal during laparoscopic procedures.
