operation close to vicinity
-through previously placed intraperitoneal mesh
Absolute contraindications to laparoscopy? - correct
answer- -hypovolemic shock
-lack of training
-lack of institutional support
-can't tolerate laparotomy
After inserting the veress and insufflating, what should
the peritoneum be at before placing the initial trocar? -
correct answer- -10 to 15 mm Hg (1-3 L CO2)
,ancillary equipment should be placed - correct

a way that surgeon can easily change positions
Any proof that NSAIDs need to be discontinued before
surgery? - correct answer- -no
Approaches to minimizing complications during entry in
thin patients? - correct answer- -elevating
