new approaches is the reduction in the trauma of access.
The technique for access to the peritoneal cavity, choice of

is very important in MAS. Technique of access is different for

retroperitoneoscopy, axilloscopy, and arthroscopy all have

various abdominal access techniques.
It is important to know that approximately 20% of
laparoscopic complications are caused at the time of initial
access. Developing access s
