title: Gasless laparoscopic gynecologic surgery.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Evaluate gasless laparoscopic gynecologic surgery as an alternative to conventional technique with carbon dioxide insufflation.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective study of 49 cases.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Gasless laparoscopic gynecologic surgery was successful in 90% of cases. The gasless technique permits the surgical team to use the laparoscopic and vaginal approach simultaneously.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Gasless laparoscopic gynecologic surgery seems to be a reliable alternative to conventional laparoscopy for selected indications.
