Clinical Trial Summary

During laparoscopy, trocars are essential: they allow the passage of instruments through the wall. In gynecology, with exception, trocars 5mm (used for the passage of endo-scissors and forceps) and 10 to 12mm are used (especially for optics). Trocars are responsible for complications, such as vascular wounds, digestive wounds, pain, infections or postoperative hernias, or aesthetic sequelae, and should be chosen with caution: most complications of laparoscopy are essentially due to their placement, and the complications at the introduction of the first trocar are the most frequent. The MiniLap® system developed by Teleflex does not require trocars in the case of a single forceps, or a single 5mm trocar with the necessary forceps change (this is the Percuvance® system). The aim of the latter is to make minimally invasive surgery even less invasive, thanks to a reduction in the number of trocars used (in many cases, elimination of two trocars), smaller incisions (percutaneous use of instruments, with a diameter of 2,4mm) thus reducing the complications
