Can Gasless Laparoscopy Be an Alternative to Conventional Laparoscopy in Low-to Middle-Income Countries? A Practical Quandary

We read with great interest the article by Mishra and colleagues1 “Evaluation of Gasless Laparoscopy as a Tool for Minimal Access Surgery in Low-to Middle-Income Countries: A Phase II Noninferiority Randomized Controlled Study.” We congratulate the authors for successfully conducting a randomized controlled trial on a pivotal topic, and we especially appreciat e recognizing the poor accessibility of minimal access surgery in low-to middle-income countries and trying to make laparoscopic surgery accessible to the rural population through this study.
