The Team
T
he patient is not the only victim when an adverse incident occurs. In a
theater setting there is often a well-established team, and few members of that
team will be unaffected. This needs to be recognized and the temptation to
“
j
ust carr
y
on as normal” resisted. It ma
y
be appropriate to take a short break,
even if this means that some clinical work needs to be delayed. Acknowledge
that performance may be affected. If an intraoperative death occurs, the list

g
T
he National Patient Safet
y
A
g
enc
y
(NPSA) has aimed to ensure reportin
g
o
f all adverse incidents. Such reportin
g
is essential to
g
ood risk mana
g
ement
a
nd hence patient safet
y
and clinical
g
overnance. Ensure that the correct docu-
m
ents are com
p
leted as soon as
p
ossible after an adverse event occurs. This is
t
he startin
g
point for follow-up b
y
the risk mana
g
er. Since part of the risk
m
ana
g
ement process is to track common events, this will allow the earl
y
iden-
tifi
cation of a serial incident. Where serious harm occurred, the NPSA suggests
that a report be fi
led within 3 working days and a root cause analysis under-
t
aken within 45 workin
g
da
y
s of the occurrence of the incident [5].
I
t is important that or
g
anizations encoura
g
e transparent workin
g
practices
in which the fi
ling of incident reports is routine and without fear of disciplin-
a
r
y
action. In our unit, as in others, the polic
y
on incident reportin
g
states that
“
disciplinar
y
action should not follow the reportin
g
of an incident except in
c
ases where one or more of the followin
g
applies
:
Where there is a second occurrence involvin
g
the same individual

Severe complications associated with laparoscop

number of laparoscopies are carried out each

quence of these complications are considerable. The complications ma

be life

, and the consequences of dama
g

tract are potentiall
y
catastrophic, leadin

to considerable
physical and emotional suffering as well as signifi
cant fi

T

y
U
rinar

tract in
j
ur
y
is observed in 0.02%–2% of laparoscopies. Bladder
injuries are more common and are recognized more commonly intraopera
-
tivel
y
than ureteric in
j
uries. The most common t
y
pe of urinar
y
tract in
j
ur
y
is
bladder
p
erforation
(
5
0%); less common are ureteric li
g
ation, ureteric trans

action, and fi
stula formation. Most injuries to the urinary tract occur during
operations for advanced endometriosis, h

y
, oophorectom

e
s
E
ver
y
method of enterin
g
the abdominal cavit
y
has inherent risk of in
j
ur
y
to the intraabdominal or
g
ans [32]. To reduce the rate of these in
j
uries at lapa
-
roscop
y
, several techniques have been devised, the most popular bein
g
the
“open” method devised in 1971 b
y
Harrith Hasson, a
gy
necolo
g
ist [34,35]. In
this method a small incision of 1–2 cm is made
j
ust below the umbilicus; then
dissection occurs down to the peritoneal cavit
y
. Each suture placed on either
s
ide of the rectus sheath is wrapped around pe
g
s on a cannula that has been
inserted snu
g
l
y
into the peritoneal cavit
y
. This method is thou
g
ht to be under
direct vision. Some studies confi
rm the safety of this method and claim reduced
risk of ma
j
or vascular in
j
ur
y
. In a series of 10,840 open laparoscopies, no ma
j
or
vascular in
j
uries occurred [36]. A retrospective comparison stud
y
[37] docu
-
mented a statistically signifi
cant decreased rate of major vascular injury when
the open technique of abdominal entr
y
is compared to a closed technique. A

the Palmer’s test, the drip test, and the pressure-fl
ow test wit
h
t
h
e CO
insuffl
ator.
W
ith the Palmer’s test, a s
y
rin
g
e is attached to the end of the Verres needle,
and a suction check is done for blood/bowel contents. If there is none
,
then
the fl
uid is instilled down the Verres needle; the fl
uid should fl
ow freely into
the peritoneal cavit
y
, and suction after this should not lead to return of the
uid back into the syringe from the cavity. With the drip test, fl
uid in a syringe
attached to the Verres needle should fl
ow passively into the abdominal cavity
after the plunger is withdrawn. With the pressure-fl
ow test with the
CO
in
su
f-
ator, when the needle is correctly situated, the fl
ow of gas when set at 1 L/min
should also re
g
ister 1 L/min combined with an intraabdominal pressure of less
than 10 mm H
g
. If the needle is inappropriatel
y
positioned within the abdomi-
nal wall, in adhesions, or in intraabdominal structures, the fl
o
w will
be
l
o
w

g
and the pressure will be hi
g
h. If bowel contents are obtained at aspira
-
tion or instillation and/or insuffl
ation pressures are high, the Verres needle
can be removed and an alternative entr
y
site selected [23]
.
T
here is some belief that using intraabdominal pressure rather than the
volume of
g
as instilled will lead to a safer distance between the anterior
abdominal wall and the abdominal viscera. Reich et al. [40] were the fi
r
st
to
describe a high-pressure technique, where, with the patient lying fl
at, instilla-
tion of gas is continued till a pressure of 25 mm Hg is reached. At this pressure,
