helps to minimize injuries to vessels and nerves when gently introducing the trocar, by dissecting instead of cutting. There is an extra-precise fit between instrument and cannula, resulting in extremely reduced friction and minimal gas leak (<0 .1l="" a="" and="" any="" as="" being="" by="" co2="" consequence="" corrected="" criticism="" for="" formerly="" in="" increase="" is="" leak="" min="" models.="" new="" of="" p="" performance="" procedure="" real="" reason="" regarded="" resultant="" successfully="" the="" these="" trocar="" without="">WE PLACE HERE TWO or 3 figures !!!The author (Carvalho) declares to have a possible conflict of interest.
