It included 232 patients who underwent laparoscopic procedures after previous laparotomy. They were randomly divided into 2 equal groups. In group 1, laparoscopic access was carried out by an optical trocar through the new point situated in the subxiphoid region 1\u00a0cm below the costal margin and centered 2.5\u00a0cm from the midline on either side. In group 2, laparoscopic access was performed by an optical subumbilical trocar after Verres needle insufflation in Palmer point. The primary end points were success and safety of entry, measured by the number of entry attempts and the incidence of bowel and vascular injuries. The secondary end point was the entry time.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>In group 1, safe entry into the abdomen was achieved without visceral or vascular injury. In the 3 cases, minor liver injuries occurred. In group 2, 2 major vascular injuries and 5 bowel injuries occurred. There was a significant difference in procedure time (55\u00b17.2\u00a0s in group 1 vs. 192\u00b111.6\u00a0s in group 2).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n
