AB Paramount  to  proper  visualization  of  intraabdominal  structures  is  the  ability  to  safely  introduce  gas  into  the  peritoneal  cavity  (pneumoperitoneum).  Techniques  available  to  accomplish  this  objective  can  generally  be  divided  into  closed  and  open  categories.  Specific  choice  depends  on  surgeon  experience  and  preference  as  well  as  careful  patient  selection.  The  primary  tools  used  to  create  pneumoperitoneum  by  the  closed  technique  are  the  Veress  needle  and  optical  viewing  trocar.  The  alternative  “open”  technique  uses  the  Hasson  trocar  or  hand  port  to  provide  initial  access.
