Video monitors should be positioned across from the operating surgeon and ideally, multiple screens can be strategically positioned so that all participants, including the anesthesia team, surgi­cal assistants, and circulating nurse, may view and be aware of how the surgery is progressing. Room lighting should be actively adjusted based on the stage of the procedure. Initially, overhead and sur­gical lights should be on, as would occur in any typical open surgical approach. Once intra-abdom­inal access is established, overhead lights should be dimmed and surgical lights shut off. The dark­ened room will contrast against a brightly lit screen and will allow for best and safest visualization of the operative eld. At the conclusion of surgery, room lights and surgical lights are turned on again to facilitate closure of the abdominal wall layers.
14.2.3 Patient Positioning
Patient positioning often depends on the opera­tive eld needed. Most laparoscopic surgeries require the patient to be in the supine position. Some procedures may require temporary maneu-

vering of the bed in the Trendelenburg or reverse Trendelenburg positioning. This allows gravity to assist in mobilizing intra-abdominal contents to facilitate visualization. If working on the esopha­gus or left liver, patient positioning may need to be in lithotomy position, with legs in stir-ups and the surgeon positioned in-between the legs. For a retroperitoneal approach, such as nephrectomy or retroperitoneal aortic surgery, the best exposure is achieved by placing the patient in the lateral decubitus position and then exing the table at the waist to spread the lateral plane as well as the intercostal space for thoracoscopic access.
14.2.4 Surgeon Positioning
The surgeon is positioned opposite the surgical eld and across from the video monitor. He or she should have an uncompromised vantage point to safely accomplish the goals of the operation. Often, assistants will be asked to hold the camera or retract tissue. With limited space, a great deal of exibility and dexterity is necessary to do this effectively.

14.2.5 Instruments
There exist a wide variety of instruments used in laparoscopic surgery, and the list grows daily, also due to the growth of hybrid procedures which may require combining laparoscopic tech­niques with ultrasonography, endoscopy, or uo­roscopy. It is important to have a number of these instruments and modalities readily available, including instruments for a potentially open approach. Nowadays, most instruments used in traditional, open surgery are available for use in laparoscopic surgery with the necessary size and length modications that allow for functionality, despite entry via 5–12mm ports. Unfortunately, many of these are limited in their degrees of free­dom [wrist-like motion] forcing the laparoscopic surgeon to adjust his or her technique. This limit­ing factor and subsequent learning curve forced upon the surgeon is one reason for the delay in widespread adoption of minimally invasive lapa­roscopic surgery when it was rst being per­formed. Fortunately, increases in volume have proportionally increased new medical devices such as knot pusher, Bovie hook, Endo Catch bag, and Endo Stitch™. Figure14.4a–i depicts the basic essential equipment to perform laparo­scopic surgery.

14.2.6 Establishing
Pneumoperitoneum
In order for appropriate visualization and maneu­vering to take place within the abdomen, creating a surgical eld with adequate separation of tis­sues is required. This is primarily done by insuf­ating the workspace cavity with a gaseous substance. Mechanical lift devices do exist; how­ever, due to their bulk, inferior exposure, and
increased postoperative pain, they may prove to be more of a nuisance. Several options exist for establishing pneumoperitoneum such as Air, N2O, helium, neon, argon, and CO2. The latter has been the most studied and used. It is impor­tant to consider both the gas-specic and pressure- specic effects of each option, espe­cially since these substances may absorb into the patient’s circulatory system to different extents and subsequently induce dangerous physiologic

responses. Those with poor absorption such as the inert gasses have an increased risk for gas embolus. With CO2 on the other hand, diffusion into the patient’s tissue can result in hypercarbia and ensuing acidosis, increased afterload, even
myocardial stress [5]. The physiologic changes associated with CO2 pneumoperitoneum will be discussed later in this chapter.
When deciding upon where to initially gain
entry, it is important to consider what may be

found underneath the skin. The surgeon’s rst choice is at the umbilicus. The umbilical stalk naturally converges the tissue planes, and an approach here will minimize the depth of tissue layers traversed. Alternatively, in patients with previous surgical scarring especially at the mid­line, access via Palmer’s point (3cm below the left costal margin, midclavicular line) may pro­vide safe entry in avoiding potentially adhered loops of bowel.
14.2.6.1 Veress Needle
In the virgin abdomen, one method of gaining entry to the abdomen is with the use of a Veress needle (Fig.14.5). This spring-loaded needle is designed to retract its pointed end upon interface with resistance. Thus, when the surgeon “pops” through the abdominal wall fascia and then the peritoneum, it is understood that there now exists direct access from the environment to the perito­neal space. Anterior retraction or lifting of the

abdominal wall layers, such as with two penetrat­ing towel clamps, away from the viscera can facilitate safe entry. The gaseous substance of choice can ow via the needle’s shaft and insuf­ation of the abdomen begins. With pressure feedback monitoring on the insufation console, low (<5 mmHg) starting pressure ensures the needle’s tip is outside of abdominal wall layers. Further, the surgeon may instill normal saline and note the ease with which it enters the abdomen. Inltrating with normal saline and noting clear uid return on aspiration conrm the needle tip rests outside loops of bowel.
Once the abdomen is appropriately inated to 15mmHg, standard trocars, e.g., 5 or 10 mm in diameter, may be introduced with a now mini­mized possibility of organ injury. Trocar tips are generally aimed away from the sacral promon­tory and the great vessels. Often, the initial trocar placement is performed under direct laparoscopic visualization through an optic trocar. Once this is placed, the remaining trocars are placed under direct visualization as they are inserted through the abdominal incisions.
14.2.6.2 Hasson Technique
When a patient has had multiple previous abdom­inal surgeries, it is advisable to gain entry via a more direct route in the event adhesions from previous surgeries have developed and xed loops of bowel or other organs are against the peritoneal surface. The initial incision is then made adjacent to or within the umbilicus. Dissection is carried down through Camper’s and Scarpa’s fascia into the paucity of abdominal wall musculature at midline which allows entry into the peritoneal cavity. Securing the fascia on
either side of the incision can be achieved with two clamps or stay sutures allowing for elevation away from intra-abdominal organs and a safe incision through the fascia and peritoneum. Now, a blunted trocar (Fig.14.6) may be advanced into the abdomen. Replacing the clamps with suture that can be wrapped around the trocar for added security is the nal step prior to passing the trocar tip into the abdominal cavity. If preferred, a clean nger swipe can add reassurance prior to trocar entry.
14.2.6.3 Optical Trocar
A hybrid of the aforementioned approaches is peritoneal cavity access with a direct optical see­through trocar. Here, the 0° laparoscope is placed within the transparent 5mm trocar, and the sur­geon is able to visualize the abdominal wall lay­ers as the trocar rotates and separates the fascia and muscle bers. Guided entry is performed fol­lowing small skin incision made wide enough to accommodate the trocar. Then, a twisting motion with controlled entry is performed with visual­ization of each abdominal wall layer with the end point here being visualization beyond the perito­neal lining and within the abdominal cavity. This technique may be combined with Veress pneu­moperitoneum prior to entry, though insufation may also begin after trocar entry.
14.2.7 Troubleshooting Common Problems
There exist a number of common hiccups that can easily derail the progress of a surgery. Many of these will resolve with a quick x; however,

the procedure may be severely hampered with­out knowledge of such remedies. For instance, when establishing and maintaining pneumoperi­toneum, high-pressure readings could signal insufation of an incorrect tissue plane, i.e., within the abdominal wall and hollow viscus. It is best to begin insufating the abdomen with a low-ow setting (e.g., 3L/min). If the monitor reads an unexpectedly high pressure, insufation should be immediately stopped, and the trocar should be repositioned followed by careful exploration of all underlying organs. Once in the correct tissue plane, insufation can be expe­dited with a “high ow” rate (e.g., 40 L/min). For reference, a typical insufator monitor is depicted in Fig.14.3b.
Further, when initially viewing via a laparo­scope, the temperature difference between the room and the abdomen will produce fogging of the lens until these equalize. To prevent this, a scope warmer (Fig.14.4e) can be employed to adjust the temperature of the lens and defogging solution can be applied to the scope’s tip. To expedite having a clear view once inside the abdomen, a gentle and brief wiping of the cam­era against the liver, peritoneum, or omentum is safe. Other reasons why there may be a subpar image include if the camera is out of focus or the light adjustment was not previously white balanced.
14.2.8 Physiologic Eects
ofPneumoperitoneum
The most common gas used for pneumoperito­neum is carbon dioxide (CO2) because it is rela­tively cheap and widely available, suppresses combustion, is rapidly absorbed into the perito­neum, and is easily eliminated from the body. Nonetheless CO2 pneumoperitoneum has a phys­iologic effect on the human body. These effects can be divided into chemical gas-specic or mechanical pressure-specic effects. During the procedure monitoring of cardiac rhythm, oxygen saturation, end-tidal CO2, heart rate, blood pres­sure, and urine output is critical to safe laparo­scopic surgery.
14.2.8.1 Gas-Specic Eects
CO2 is readily absorbed into the circulatory sys­tem and carried to the alveoli. The diffusion coef­cient of CO2 is 20 times greater than that of oxygen making it very soluble in the blood. The lungs eliminate CO2 during expiration by increas­ing minute ventilation which is the primary mechanism of eliminating CO2. Also, the bone can buffer up to 12 L of CO2. Normally these mechanisms prevent hypercarbia and respiratory acidosis. However, when the limits of the body’s buffers are overwhelmed, there will be an increased arterial P CO2 and an abrupt increase in end-tidal CO2. This will eventually lead to a decrease in the serum pH.These changes can be seen in patients with severe cardiopulmonary dis­ease in the rst 15–20min of pneumoperitoneum, after which a steady state will be achieved. These physiologic changes may also be seen during long cases. In these circumstances, the anesthesi­ologist may require the patient to come off pneu­moperitoneum and hyperventilate the lungs. Off- loading CO2 may be achieved by an increase respiratory rate or tidal volume, keeping in mind that a respiratory rate greater than 20 breaths per minute may cause worsening of hypercapnia sec­ondary to poor oxygen exchange. If the tidal vol­ume is increased too much, barotrauma or excessive movement of the surgical eld may result. Severe respiratory acidosis is uncommon if patient has normal pulmonary function, but it could lead to tachycardia as well as an increase in systemic vascular resistance and blood pressure, thus leading higher myocardial oxygen demand and risk for cardiac ischemia. Changes in cere­brovascular autoregulation can also be seen with high serum CO
levels [3, 4].

14.2.8.2 Pressure-Specic Eects
Pneumoperitoneum can also increase intra­abdominal (IA) pressures and can affect the car­diovascular, pulmonary, and renal organ systems [5]. Increased IA can decrease renal blood ow, glomerular ltration rate, and urine output. Frequently there is an observed intraoperative oliguria secondary to decreased renal venous ow [6]. This is immediately reversible when pneumoperitoneum is completed at the end of the

case. Pneumoperitoneum can also indirectly increase renin and antidiuretic hormone levels leading to sodium retention and free water absorp­tion. On the other hand, this effect can take up to 1h to reverse.
Elevated IA pressure affects the cardiovascu­lar system in many ways. One of the benets of laparoscopic surgery is that insensible uid loss is much less when compared to open abdominal surgery. Nonetheless, during laparoscopic sur­gery intravenous uids are required for uid shifting occurs with lower extremity venous pooling, third spacing, as well as blood loss. In hypovolemic patients, excessive IA pressure may compress the inferior vena cava and reduce blood return to the heart and thus preload and cardiac output. This, combined with reverse Trendelenburg positioning, promotes venous sta­sis and venous thrombosis. It is important to pre­vent venous thrombosis on a patient to patient basis. This includes sequential compression devices (SCD) and chemical prophylaxis includ­ing agents like heparin or low molecular weight heparin. For quick procedures >60–90 min, excessive deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prophy­laxis is not warranted since the risk of DVT is signicantly low [4].
Increased IA pressure on a paralyzed dia­phragm is transferred to thoracic cavity. This increases the lling pressure in both the right and left atrium. This can be avoided by maintaining the IA pressure <20mmHg [7]. Increased intra­thoracic pressure may also increase the peak inspiratory pressure, making barotrauma more likely. However, even in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, ruptured blebs resulting in pneumothorax are rare after laparo­scopic surgery.
appropriate distance from each other. This cre­ates space and allows for efcient movement within the abdomen. Trocars placed within 3cm of each other are not only redundant but facilitate collision of instruments within the abdomen. Ideally, there should be at least 10cm between the surgeon’s right and left hands.
Although the camera can technically be placed in any of the ports that accommodate its size, one port should intentionally be designated as the camera port. A commonly used analogy is that of the baseball diamond, where rst and third base are the surgeon’s right and left hands, respec­tively, second base is the target organ, and this leaves home plate to be the designated camera port (Fig.14.7).
Prior to making any incision, the surgeon must be mindful of several additional factors which may not result in a perfect diamond, though would be ultimately be more benecial for the patient. For example, incisions within previous scars or hidden within natural creases and folds make for a better cosmetic outcome for the patient with the avoidance of a new, visible scar. Further, prodding the outside surface of the abdomen while visualizing the indentation made from within can assist in avoiding placement of a trocar within potentially dangerous territory, such as within an area of dense adhesion that may contain viscera. Figures14.8 and 14.9 dem­onstrate typical trocar placement for laparo­scopic appendectomy and cholecystectomy, respectively.

Trocar placement is paramount to a seamless operation. When not thoughtfully planned ahead of time, the surgery may be wrought with frustra­tion at the expense of patient safety. Several car­dinal guidelines exist that the surgeon should bear in mind. First, trocars should be placed with
SILS has recently entered into the limelight of general surgery. The concept of SILS has been around for some time. As early as the 1970s, Dr. Raimund Wittmoser, the “father” of modern tho­racoscopic surgery of the autonomic nervous sys­tem, used a single-intercostal incision through which he inserted a multifunctional port which contained all the instruments and optics.

are manipulated via a multiport system. Placement of the trocar at the umbilicus allows for minimal visible scar and thus theoretically more aesthetically appealing than traditional lap­aroscopic surgical scars. However, many sur­geons have questioned its practicality for routine use over traditional laparoscopic surgery. The ideal patient for SILS is one with lower body mass index (BMI), early disease, and no previous abdominal surgery.
SILS appendectomy has been described in many pediatric cases, but as the patient size and weight increase, as does the difculty of the pro­cedure and conversion rates. Adult SILS appen­dectomy was reviewed in a large meta-analysis of randomized control studies. The result was lon­ger operating time and higher rate of conversion. There were no differences between the two groups in visual analogue pain scores, doses of analgesics, overall complication rates, wound infection, or cosmesis.
One of the most commonly performed SILS surgeries is the single-incision laparoscopic
cholecystectomy. Comparable results have been reported for SILS versus traditional four-port cholecystectomy. Rivas etal. reported operating times of 50min always attaining a critical view using a two-port and three-port SILS technique under experienced hands [8]. Acute cholecystitis is a factor associated with a lower success rate
59.9 vs 93.0% and longer operative time of 78 vs 70 min. A BMI >30 was also associated with longer operative times [9]. A recent meta-analy­sis pooling ten randomized control studies evalu­ated SILC vs laparoscopic cholecystectomy and found that although there were improved postop­erative pain and cosmesis scores, there was a sig­nicant increase in major complications (CBD injury, requirement for reexploration, and large vessel injury) with a relative risk of 3.0 as well as an increase in minor complications. Operation times were signicantly longer in the SILC group with a mean difference added time of 23min. No difference was noted in requirement for conversion to open or addition of extra port sites were noted [10].
