A randomized controlled prospective study comparing surgical outcomes of median umbilical ligament lift-up and Veress needle entry techniques in gynecologic laparoscopic surgery
The MULU technique, based on anatomical guidance via the median umbilical ligament, is a safe and effective method for abdominal entry. It offers faster access and may reduce the risk of major complications, making it a viable alternative to conventional techniques.
