title: [Open laparoscopy in patients at risk].
abstract: A variant of the technique of open laparoscopy is reported. The principal feature of this technique is that creation of a pneumoperitoneum is simplified. No additional instruments are required, nor sharp instruments, except for the skin incision and splitting of the fascia. The modified open laparoscopy technique was used on 23 high-risk patients in a group of 224 patients on whom laparoscopy was performed at Ludwigshafen Gynecological Clinic. The technique is discussed with reference to the literature.
