Abstract

Background: Laparoscopy is an important and common method of accessing the peritoneal cavity to perform many types of gynaecologic surgery. Clearly safety of entry is of the utmost importance and despite debate regarding the preferred method of achieving peritoneal access; there is no single technique with demonstrated superiority.

Methods: All consecutive patients who had a legitimate indication and declared fit to undergo a laparoscopic operation in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, K D Medical College, Hospital & Research Center; Mathura (UP) underwent a prospective observational study. There were no exclusion criteria.

Results- In normal weight category sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, were 0.99, 1, 1and 0.75 respectively. In overweight category sensitivity and PPV were 1, and 0.97 respectively. In obese category sensitivity, PPV, were 1and 1 respectively

Conclusion: So we can see that pressure profile test shows higher sensitivity and PPV across all grades of surgeons as well as higher specificity and NPV.
