Abstract
During laparoscopic procedures, minilaparotomy is a safe technique for remo val of large specimens and for the performance of complicated procedures. H owever, it is time consuming and troublesome to close the minilaparotomy to recreate the pneumoperitoneum. We describe a new device (Dispo-sand) that enables instant conversion between pneumoperitoneum and minilaparotomy.
