Abstract

Laparoscopic entry is a critical step in minimally invasive surgery, often associated with iatrogenic complications such as bowel or vascular injury. Jain’s Point, a novel entry site located in the left upper quadrant, has been proposed to reduce these risks, especially in patients with previous abdominal surgeries. We present a case where Jain’s point allowed safe laparoscopic access in a patient with abdominal wall adhesion with bowel due to prior surgery.
