Abstract
Study Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the amount of force required to enter the abdominal cavity using a Veress needle. We hypothesize the force needed to penetrate the abdominal cavity is consistent among patients regardless of their body mass index (BMI). With standardized force values, an educational simulator can be developed to improve proficiency in Veress needle closed abdominal entry technique for laparoscopic surgery.
