What is the difference between open Hasson and needle Veress in the laparoscopic approach?
5; p=0.027). Conclusions: Modified Hasson‟s entry was found to be much better than Veress needle entry due to its simplicity for beginners in laparoscopy, lesser time of achieving pneumoperitoneum and lesser duration of surgery in our study. We have been using the open technique with a slight modification.
