Objective: To do a safe technique of open laparoscopy by using a blunt cannula without the sharp trocar to introduce into the peritoneal cavity instead of closed method of insertion of veress needle into the peritoneal cavity and its advantages.
Methods: From 13th October 2015 to18th December 2019 for a period of 4 years and 1 month, open laparoscopy was done by the technique of using a blunt cannula without the sharp trocar to introduce into the peritoneal cavity while doing laparoscopic operations like laparoscopic appendectomy and laparoscopic cholecystectomy instead of closed method of insertion of veress needle into the peritoneal cavity.
Results: From 13th October 2015 to18th December 2019 for a period of 4 years and 1 month, while following the technique of open laparoscopy by using a blunt cannula without the sharp trocar to introduce into the peritoneal cavity while doing laparoscopic operations like laparoscopic appendectomy and laparoscopic cholecystectomy instead of closed method of insertion of veress needle into the peritoneal cavity, no patient had injury to the intra-abdominal organs, viscera and blood vessels.
Conclusion: Hence the technique of open laparoscopy by using a blunt cannula without the sharp trocar to introduce into the peritoneal cavity while doing laparoscopic operations instead of closed method of insertion of veress needle into the peritoneal cavity is extremely useful since it avoids the complications of injury to the intra-abdominal organs, viscera and blood vessels.
