2 Objectives Understand relative merits of various methods of laparoscopic entry Review laparoscopic entry in challenging scenarios, including non-umbilical primary puncture such as Palmer s point Know relevant anatomy for avoiding vascular complications associated with entry and port placement 3 Entry techniques More than half of complications in laparoscopy occur during ENTRY Vascular injuries during entry are associated with a 15% mortality rate So what is the best method of entry?! Veress needle ( closed )! Hasson ( open )! Direct! Optical Krishnakumar+J+Gyn+Edosc+Surg+2009! 4

3 Entry techniques Ahmad+Cochrane+2015! 5 Entry techniques Systematic review: appropriate for rare outcomes 46 RCTs, 7389 subjects No advantage to any one technique in terms of preventing major vascular or visceral complications Open-entry outperformed closed with failed entry Direct-trocar entry outperformed Veress with failed entry and vascular injury Very small odds ratios, most not serious complications, statistical limitations, many studies excluded subjects w prior surgery, elevated BMI Ahmad+Cochrane+2015! 6

4 Veress entry Principles! Have the patient flat! Be mindful of distance to great vessels! Test the needle before entry! Connect insufflation tubing before entry! Listen / feel the cadence of the needle through layers! Confirmation: aspirate, drop test, pressure! Settings: 15-20mm Hg for entry! Insufflation: time, volume, pressure! Risk of injury increases with multiple attempts Teoh+JMIG Veress entry Multiple attempts increases risk of injury Number'of'a+empts' %'success' Complica4ons' One! 86%! Up!to!16%! Two! 10%! 16038%!
