Official Title: Safe and Easy Access Technique for the First Trocar in Laparoscopic Obesity Surgery. A Prospective Controlled-cohort Study
Brief Summary:
Laparoscopic surgery has become very popular and standard in many indications after advancements of technique. Various methods have been used in first entry to the abdomen. Safety, wound size, to be not time-consuming, low cost, learning curve and efficacy are important. Several techniques, instruments, and approaches to minimize the risk of injury (the bowel, bladder, major abdominal vessels, and an anterior abdominal wall vessel) have been introduced.
There is no consensus yet on an optimal method has yet emerged.
The investigators aimed to evaluate efficacy of entry methods that ensures safe insertion of the first trocar at any site of the abdomen.
To evaluate the efficacy of entry technique, the investigators used cohort of patients who will be planned to laparoscopic obesity surgery.
Two methods are commonly used in surgical literature and in our center.
The investigators have been used visible optical-entry technique in some patients for first entry and Veress technique in some other patients.
For this purpose, the investigators designed an observational study.
