Veress needle is a crucial piece of medical equipment used in minimally invasive surgical procedures, particularly laparoscopic surgeries. Named after the Hungarian surgeon János Veress, this specialized needle is designed for creating a safe entry point into the abdominal cavity. It features a spring-loaded mechanism that allows it to penetrate the abdominal wall smoothly while minimizing the risk of injury to surrounding organs or blood vessels. The Veress needle is an integral component in establishing pneumoperitoneum, a controlled inflation of the abdominal cavity with carbon dioxide gas, which creates a clear working space for the insertion of laparoscopic instruments. Its precise and controlled entry makes it a preferred choice for surgeons performing various laparoscopic procedures, ensuring a safer and more efficient surgical experience for both the patient and the medical team.
