Abstract

Methods and systems for accessing an operating cavity when performing endoscopic surgery comprising. The systems and methods include at least one obturator- free cannula unit and a trocar assembly. The trocar assembly includes a single dedicated functional obturator independent of the cannula unit and an endoscopic cannula. The invention also provides a system and methods for providing continuous flow of carbon dioxide during a laparoscopic procedure.
