AB  - The  first  step  in  most  abdominal  laparoscopic  procedures  is  insufflation  of  the  intraperitoneal  space  with  carbon  dioxide  (CO2)  gas  and  introduction  of  the  videoscope  system.  The  original  and  most  established  technique  uses  the  Veress  needle,  described  in  Chapter  14.  The  Veress  needle  can  be  placed  in  any  quadrant  of  the  abdomen  but  is  most  frequently  inserted  just  below  the  umbilicus,  where  a  skin  incision  has  been  made  for  the  introduction  of  a  large  10-mm  port  for  the  videoscope.  General  surgeons,  however,  have  been  cautious  in  adopting  this  technique  of  blind  puncture  because  their  training  has  emphasized  the  importance  of  complete  visualization  of  the  anatomy  and  of  the  planned  action  of  their  surgical  instruments.  Accordingly,  the  open,  or  Hasson,  technique  for  entering  the  abdomen  under  direct  vision  has  become  more  popular  and  safer.
