title: Direct laparoscope trocar insertion without prior pneumoperitoneum.
abstract: The results of direct trocar insertion without prior establishment of pneumoperitoneum are documented in 301 consecutive laparoscopies. No complications or technical failures attributable to the method were encountered. A reduction of complications associated with needle-induced pneumoperitoneum may be possible with this method.
