?Tom Petty? Didn't know they drove race cars in the Super Bowl. I assume you mean Tom Brady and you're right about the half time show, it was a bust as far as I'm concerned and the commercials weren't much better. Ronald E.

Besides, I'm not used to being coherent during the game, the last three years its started at midnight for me. Glen

The Excel trocars have spring loaded blades. The Visiport trocars have the little plastic wings at the tip, and the scope goes right inside of it so that you watch on monitor as the tip penetrates all the layers. I use the visiport all the time now. I can attest to the fact that if you have a piece of bowel adherent right under the umbilicus The visiport gives you a nice view of the bowel lumen. I agree with you Garry. It would take a major study powered to show the difference in injury rates. Perhaps you could study laparoscopies done on patients with previous midline incisions. Right now, I tend to prefer the Visiport, but if the scrub tech opens Excels by mistake, I don't throw 'em all out. I usually open a Verres needle and proceed.
