This study introduces a simple technique for open laparoscopic insertion, reducing major injury risks during cholecystectomy. This method proved safe and efficient in 500 cases, without increasing operation time or incision size.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a standard procedure.
  • Insertion of Veress needle or primary cannula poses risks, especially in patients with prior surgery.
  • Existing open insertion techniques are rarely used due to gas leaks and time consumption.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a simple, quick, and effective technique for open laparoscopic insertion.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of this technique in reducing insertion-related complications.

Main Methods:

  • A novel technique for open insertion during laparoscopic cholecystectomy was developed and implemented.
  • The technique involves direct visualization of the abdominal cavity before primary cannula introduction.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Experience with this technique was assessed over 500 consecutive cases.

    • Main Results:

    • The described technique demonstrated no increase in operative duration.
    • No larger skin incision was required compared to standard laparoscopic approaches.
    • The method was associated with no operative difficulties and reduced risk of major vascular and visceral injury.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented open insertion technique is a safe, simple, and effective alternative for laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
    • It mitigates risks associated with blind trocar insertion, particularly in re-operative cases.
    • This approach does not prolong surgery or necessitate larger incisions.
