| Article – Trocars & Sleeves: "Searching
for the Safest Port" |
One of
the most crucial steps required in any laparoscopic
surgery is gaining access to the abdominal cavity and
establishing a port of entry. This remains one of the
riskiest parts of the procedure. Access is generally
achieved using a trocar encased in a sleeve or cannula.
The central trocar, or obturator, is used to pierce the
abdominal wall and is then removed leaving the cannula
as an access port to abdominal cavity. From there, the
surgeon has complete visual access via a camera
system.
