Abstract
Abdominal wall lifting is a method to produce operative space between the anterior abdominal wall and the intra-abdominal organs during laparoscopic surgery. We devised a hanger lifting procedure for the anterior abdominal wall to avoid complications as well as reduce the costs related to the pneumoperitoneum. In our series, we performed 50 cases of laparoscopic cholecystectomy with this abdominal wall-lifting procedure. Though at the beginning we performed laparoscopic cholecystectomy by the pneumoperitoneum, we discarded the insufflator for this operation since starting the new procedure. There was no incidence of conversion to pneumoperitoneum and a fairly good operative view was achieved enabling a smooth laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
