Creation of Pneumoperitoneum Using a Bladed Optical Trocar in Morbidly Obese Patients: Technique and Results

Abstract: We think that our technique of entering the abdominal cavity via a bladed optical trocar without prior abdominal insufflation can be performed safely in morbidly obese patients. More studies and larger series are needed to validate this method.

“…It seems that there are study design shortcomings of these reports concerning abdominal entry times registered by Bernante et al 11 in 70 patients, whereas there were complications reviewed in 200 patients. Furthermore, Berch et al 12 evaluated only 10 cases from 327 patients.…”

“…Intriguingly, in obese patients, Bernante et al 11 reached an average entry time of ∼20 seconds (range 10–50), independently of high BMI rate of 48 kg/m 2 (range 40–62), and they concluded that BMI did not affect the entry time. Although the investigators reported successful fast entry without intrasurgical vascular and hollow viscous injuries, there was a notice concerning trocar insertion inside the bursa omentalis through the gastrocolic ligament in 5 cases.…”

“…Un taux de 0,18 % de plaie vasculaire a été noté quand le trocart a été placé latéralement [9]. Bernante et al ont montré dans une série rétrospective de 200 patients que la mise en place du premier trocart sans pneumopéritoine est une technique sûre [10]. Rabl et al ont montré dans une série rétrospective de 208 patients obèses (IMC > 35 kg/m 2 ) que l'introduction du premier trocart sans lame avec système optique intégré sans pneumopéritoine préalable était sûre et efficace.…”

“…Il n'existe pas de contre-indication de mise en place du premier trocart avec système optique intégré sans pneumopéritoine au préalable chez le patient obèse [9][10][11][12]14]. La création du pneumopéritoine selon la technique fermée par aguille de Veress en hypochondre gauche est sûre chez l'obèse morbide [13].…”
