Search all you want as Daniel has invented nothing but a trap for adhesion sufferers.
Search for inventor Kruschinski or the alternative spelling of his name he uses,
D. Kruczynski.

Daniels duped us again! He never in print says he invented gasless laparoscopy but lets YOU say it to others.......

If I am wrong please shown me! Validation Please!

I found these guys.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for lifting an abdominal wall during laparoscopic diagnostic and surgical procedures. The surgical lift device includes a gripping portion for contacting and holding an external skin surface adjacent the abdominal wall. The gripping portion is selectively detachable from the skin surface. The device further includes a lifting portion that extends outwardly from the gripping portion. In accordance with alternative embodiments, the gripping portion may comprise an adhesive sheet or a suction member and the lifting portion may comprise a wire member or a portion of a hook and loop-type fastener.

[Initial experiences with the modular retraction system (VarioLift) for laparoscopic surgery without pneumoperitoneum]

[Article in German]

The VarioLift system is an alternative method for abdominal wall lifting to create sufficient intra-abdominal space and adequate laparoscopic exposure to the operating field. The installation of a CO2 pneumoperitoneum is not necessary, which means that technical disadvantages, systemic and local physiological effects, or complications related to gas insufflation are not relevant when this method is used. The surgeon is allowed to combine the advantages of endoscopic surgery, such as magnified video-endoscopic visualisation, with well-known open surgical techniques to create a symbiosis of prove methods.

Systems and instruments for laparoscopic surgery without pneumoperitoneum.

Gutt CN, Daume J, Schaeff B, Paolucci V.

Department of General Surgery, Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe-University, Frankfurt/Main, Germany.

The insufflation of carbon dioxide into the peritoneal cavity is a routine technique of abdominal exposure in laparoscopic surgery. Because of adverse physiological effects and technical disadvantages of the pneumoperitoneum, alternative methods of abdominal wall lifting have been explored recently. Two groups of retraction systems exist: intraabdominal lifting and subcutaneous lifting of the abdominal wall. Some systems require additional pneumoperitoneum, because the extent of intraabdominal exposure is not sufficient. Other systems are working completely without gas insufflation. Two systems combine abdominal wall lifting with pressure on the internal organs. Every method allows the use of standard laparoscopic instruments, which originally were designed for a regular pneumoperitoneum. The use of a low-pressure pneumoperitoneum in combination with mechanical augmentation of the peritoneal cavity reduces physiological disadvantages of laparoscopy. But technical advantages, such as combination of laparoscopic and open techniques, can be realized only without gas insufflation. Conventional instruments have been designed to fit the ergonomical needs of isopneumic laparoscopy and to be employed with simple valveless cannulae.
