AB - Abstract Previous abdominal surgery is one of the relative contraindications to safe induction of pneumoperitoneum with a Veress needle. Similarly visual inspection with a telescope may be limited and instrumental manipulation difficult. The manual ability to distract bowel loops and finger dissect greatly facilitates adhesiolysis and this is lost with conventional laparoscopy. A novel hand-access port is described which combines manual tactile ability with minimally invasive laparoscopic adhesiolysis.
