Study population

Women undergoing laparoscopic surgery in the department of gynecology \& obstetrics , Sohag University hospital with the following criteria :

Women scheduled for elective laparoscopy. Women with history of previous laparotomies. Women with previous transverse suprapubic and/or any midline incision. Women with previous caesarean section.

Inclusion criteria

  • Women scheduled for elective laparoscopy.
  • Women with history of previous laparotomies.
  • Women with previous transverse suprapubic and/or any midline incision.
  • Women with previous caesarean section.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Women with Emergency laparoscopic surgeries (e.g., acute abdomen).
