Abstract

Primary entry during minimally invasive abdominal surgery remains the one step associated with controversy and complications.

This scoping review attempts to draw literature describing sensor augmented techniques for introducing the Veress needle into the abdomen in a bid to reduce associated challenges. Publications related to other relevant needle entry techniques into critical spaces where sensors are successfully utilised are also briefly reviewed.

It is expected that an overview of related areas in which the technology is applicable and modifications to established techniques alongside the added improvements will be described.
