Abstract

Pneumoperitoneum in diagnostic or therapeutic laparoscopy can be achieved by an open or a closed technique. The authors, on the basis of their experience, compare both techniques, concluding that open method is safer, because of the lack of major complications observed in the closed method and with only few minor complications.

Minimally invasive needlescopic cholecystectomy.

We utilized a mini-sized grasper and retractor measuring 2.5 mm in diameter and a new mini-sized laparoscope measuring 3 mm in diameter to perform a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. A 10/12-mm trocar was inserted as the first trocar for the laparoscope and specimen extraction. Under a direct laparoscopic view, the mini-sized grasper and retractor were inserted and the laparoscopic procedures were performed mainly through the 5-mm trocar placed on the left upper quadrant as the working port. These procedures were successfully performed on five patients with a comparable operation time to that of a conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy, but appeared to be more minimally invasive.
