As a part of a prospective study of 20 patients with previous pelvic surgery, the efficacy of using a 2/3 mm dilatable STEP device (InnerDyne, Inc., Sunnyvale, USA) for the first insertion in the area below the left costal border was tested, using 2 or 3.3 mm minilaparoscopes (Storz). Despite the high incidence of periumbilical omental and bowel adhesions (55%), no complications were observed in any of the 20 patients with previous pelvic surgery. Herewith could be confirmed that the use of a minilaparoscope in the area below the left costal border represents in high risk patients a safe and minimally invasive method for preventing or reducing the number of trocar-related injuries during first trocar insertion. In combination with the use of 2/3 mm disposable STEP-trocars if clinically required an atraumatic dilation and safe insertion of reusable 5 mm, 10 mm or 12 mm trocars is enabled.
