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.
Keywords: Insufflator, Mano-Meter, Pneumoperitoneum, Suction irrigator.
