Minimal access surgery (MAS) a new surgical and interventional approach, was called by different name and one of the popular is minimally invasive surgery. However, unique complications are associated with gaining access to the abdomen for laparoscopic surgery. The technique of first entry inside the human body with telescope and instruments is called access technique. The hallmark of the new approaches is the reduction in the trauma of access. The technique for access to the peritoneal cavity, choice of access technique, placement locations, and port placement is very important in MAS. Technique of access is different for different minimal access surgical procedures. Thoracoscopy, retroperitoneoscopy, axilloscopy, and arthroscopy all have different ways of access. In this chapter, we will discuss various abdominal access techniques.

The anesthetic problems during minimal access surgery are related to the cardiopulmonary effects of pneumoperitoneum, carbon dioxide (CO2) absorption, extraperitoneal gas insufflation, venous embolism, and inadvertent injuries to intra­abdominal organs. Optimal anesthetic care of patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery is very much important. Good anesthetic techniques facilitate riskfree surgery and allow early detection and reduction of complications.

Laparoscopy, also known as minimally invasive surgery (MIS) or minimal access surgery, is a revolutionary procedure that has benefitted both the patients and the doctors. The earliest recorded references to endoscopy date to ancient times with Hippocrates. In his description, there is explanation of rectum examination with a speculum. Hippocrates advised injecting a large quantity of air into the intestines through the anus in intestinal obstruction. He advocated the insertion of suppository that was 10 digits long. These descriptions suggest that Hippocrates was well aware of ileus with intestinal obstruction and thought that there were several possible etiologies, including fecal impaction, intussusceptions, and sigmoid volvulus. Moreover, Hippocrates treated these life-threatening conditions with minimally invasive approaches.
