Abstract

Creating and maintaining a pneumoperitoneum is a vital laparoscopy procedure. A set of instruments, including an insufflator, are used to achieve pneumoperitoneum. Despite having a critical role in laparoscopy, it is the least understood of all laparoscopic devices and appliances. Co2 insufflator, also known as an endoflator, and laproflator is the most intelligent laparoscopy device as it has to work under control, considering physiology. In addition, gas cylinders, connector tubing, dual valves and gas tubing are also utilized for creating pneumoperitoneum.
