| pubmed-article:19453032 | pubmed:abstractText | Closed entry technique using the Veress needle is currently most commonly used and is reported to be associated with a high rate of complications. The open entry technique, requiring tissue preparation prior to insertion of the first trocar, is less popular despite being regarded as safer. The aim of the study was to objectively compare the two techniques with regard to the risk of complications when introducing the pneumoperitoneum. The evaluation was based on Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) criteria. | lld:pubmed |
