Blunt Fascial vs. Veress Needle Peritoneal Entry in Laparoscopic Gynecologic Surgery

Description

This study aims to investigate the effect of two peritoneal entry techniques on intraoperative and post-operative outcomes among patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery with a minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon. Patients will be randomized to either blunt fascial or veress needle peritoneal entry. Insufflation times, failed entries, complications and post-operative pain scores will be collected. The investigators hypothesize that the blunt entry technique will be associated with shorter insufflation times and similar intraoperative and postoperative outcomes compared with the veress needle entry technique. Primary Objective: To evaluate the insufflation times and success upon peritoneal entry according to peritoneal entry technique. Secondary Objectives: To evaluate the surgical outcomes and patients pain scores according to peritoneal entry technique.
