Blunt Hasson Trocar Injury: Long Intra-Abdominal Trocar and Lean Patient—A Dangerous Combination
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Injury at the time of trocar placement with the Hasson approach is rare. The cone of the Hasson cannula is wedged into the skin for an air seal, and, using fascial sutures, fastened under tension to flanges of the cannula. The shorter the fascial securing suture, the greater the tension and the more secure the air seal. Flanges for securing the fascial suture were attached to the external cannula in early Hasson cannula models. With these, much of the trocar needs to be intra-abdominal in order to shorten the suture. For lean patients, with very little distance between the anterior and posterior abdominal walls, the force required to fasten the sutures to the flanges may allow an intra-abdominal trocar to damage intervening organs. Later versions of the cannula had the flanges attached to the cone, allowing for short suture without need for intra-abdominal cannula. These models avoid the possibility of such injury. An unusually lean patient underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy using an older Hasson cannula with flanges for the fascial securing suture attached to the cannula. Postoperative changes in vital signs and hemoglobin led to a diagnosis of intra-abdominal bleeding, and laparotomy revealed a transsected branch of the middle colic artery. Earlier Hasson cannulas, where the flanges are attached to the cannula, should be replaced with those with flanges attached to the cone.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
