Inclusion Criteria

  • Age >/= 18
  • Scheduled for laparoscopic surgery
  • Able to understand and willing to sign a written informed consent form

Exclusion Criteria

  • Age < 18
  • Any situation where blind, peri-umbilical passage of a Veress needle is contraindicated.
  • Any situation where patients have suspected or confirmed intra-abdominal adhesions involving the peri-umbilical abdominal wall.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Surgeon Satisfaction Survey

Time Frame: up to 1 minute on day of surgery

The surgeon completes a LIKERT scale satisfaction survey related to the TPAD to assess its ease of use. Scale range 1-5 (higher scores correspond to higher satisfaction)

Secondary Outcomes

  • Time From Incision for Veress Needle Insertion to Start of Insufflation(Up to approximately 2 minutes)
  • Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v4.0(Continuous from start of surgery through postoperative day 7)
