Abstract
It has been the purpose of this presentation to detail a safe technique for performance of laparoscopy. Emphasis has also been placed on potentially serious complications and how they can be avoided. This procedure employs highly technical equipment, and the surgeon should have formal training in the technique. It is essential to have an in-depth knowledge of the use of optics, electrical principles, gas under pressure, and the physiologic changes that occur when carbon dioxide is placed in the abdominal cavity. Above all, the surgeon must adhere rigidly to guidelines for appropriate technique. Deviation will most assuredly result in complications and even death.
