Abstract. We have developed a new device which enables rapid sealing of a minilaparotomy during laparoscopic assisted surgery to recreate an airtight condition. This device consists of a center rod and two discs (7 cm in diameter) which form an airtight condition by compressing the inner and outer surfaces of the abdominal wall. Advanced laparoscopic procedures requiring both pneumoperitoneum and minilaparotomy are facilitated with the use of this device. This new device is called the Sandwich-disc: Takasago Medical Industry Co., Ltd.
