Popis: Technological advances and the innovations of many laparoscopic surgeons have resulted in a rapid expansion of diagnostic and therapeutic laparoscopy. Experience has demonstrated that adequate exposure of the operative field is critical in the performance of successful laparoscopic surgery. Currently, the development of a carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum in combination with patient positioning and appropriate retraction are the preferred methods of obtaining consistent and safe exposure.
