Abstract
Abstract Objective To evaluate clinical safety and ease of the entry technique using an optical access system and skin hooks. Materials and methods A total of 80 gynecological patients who have undergone laparoscopic surgery with either the skin hook method using skin hooks or the conventional method using Pean clamps. Results The skin hook method was compared with the conventional method using Pean clamps ( n = 40 patients each). The skin hook method required less time and there was less device slippage than in the conventional method. No other severe complications occurred after either method. Conclusion This method is a simple and secure approach and can be applied during laparoscopic surgery and in patients other than gynecological patients.
