Abstract:
A mini-laparotomy as described by Hasson was used in a modified way in 1,500 laparoscopic procedures. In comparison with the insertion of a Veress needle, we find the open approach to be a safer and quicker technique to obtain the pneumoperitoneum. A new technique for closure of the trocar incision is described. The technique is recommended due to its easy and safe approach requiring no additional special equipment.
