Trocar placement may be evaluated in relation to the patient’s anatomy, prior operations, planned procedure, entry technique, and the location of any vascular or organ injury. Operative records, imaging, and findings from subsequent surgery may help assess the possible location and mechanism of injury and establish when signs of the problem were documented.
An expert may compare the operative record with postoperative symptoms, vital signs, laboratory findings, imaging, abdominal examinations, and findings from subsequent surgery. These records can help assess whether the injury is consistent with laparoscopic access, instrument manipulation, thermal injury, or another mechanism and establish when signs of the injury became clinically apparent.
Conversion means that an operation begun laparoscopically was continued through an open surgical incision. Conversion does not by itself indicate that a complication or surgical error occurred. It may be performed because of difficult anatomy, adhesions, bleeding, limited visualization, technical difficulty, or other circumstances that make an open approach more appropriate.
Laparoscopic surgery commonly uses carbon dioxide insufflation to create working space within the abdomen. An expert may review insufflation pressures, anesthesia records, cardiopulmonary changes, access-related events, and other intraoperative findings when pneumoperitoneum is part of the disputed issue. The analysis may address physiologic effects or complications associated with abdominal insufflation.
