Objective: To provide clinical direction, based on the best evidence available, on laparoscopic entry techniques and technologies and their associated complications. Options: The laparoscopic entry techniques and technologies reviewed in formulating this guideline include the classic pneumoperitoneum (Veress/trocar), the open (Hasson), the direct trocar insertion, the use of disposable shielded trocars, radially expanding trocars, and visual entry systems. Outcomes: Implementation of this guideline should optimize the decision-making process in choosing a particular technique to enter the abdomen during laparoscopy. Evidence: English-language articles from Medline, PubMed, and the Cochrane Database published before the end of September 2005...
