COMPARISON OF OPEN (HASSON’S TECHNIQUE) AND CLOSED ENTRY TECHNIQUES FOR CREATION OF PNEUMOPERITONIUM IN LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF 50 CASES

Abstract

Introduction- Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard for treatment of benign
gallbladder disease. Pneumoperitoneum creation is a prerequisite to carry out the procedure.
Among many techniques to create pneumoperitoneum, traditional closed (Veress needle
technique) and open (Hasson) technique are widely used. Many studies have shown that closed
technique have more incidence of extraperitoneal insufflations and vascular injury rates as
compared to open technique of peritoneal insufflation. Aim of the stud
