Abstract
Video Objective Minimally invasive surgery requires reliable and safe laparoscopic abdominal entry. Despite this, there are no comprehensive, reliable educational videos for teaching this procedure. With the decrease in resident work hours and increased emphasis on patient safety, there is a focus on moving the initial stages of learning outside of the operating room. Curated instructional videos to teach surgical procedures are one way to accomplish this. Setting Academic Obstetrics and Gynecology Department. Interventions This is an excerpt from a full-length teaching video demonstrating the key steps important for establishing laparoscopic abdominal entry. This video will focus specifically on Veress needle insertion at the umbilicus, at Palmer's point, and open entry with the Hasson technique. The video combines real-time operating room footage with high fidelity 3-D animation to illustrate the important anatomic considerations. Conclusion This video will be used to enhance the learning of medical trainees and other allied health professionals such as nurses or scrub technicians.
