Abstract

A simple technique of placing two Kocher clamps on the anterior rectus fascia for the elevation of the anterior abdominal wall during the insertion of the veress needle and the laparoscopic trocar is described in 243 consecutive patients. There were no failed insufflations during this study and no cases of preperitoneal emphysema. The technique is simple to use and adds safety to a basically blind procedure.
