Hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS) or handoscopic surgery was described in the 1990s as a means of overcoming obstacles presented by laparoscopic procedures. surgeons first introduced the gloved hand into the abdomen vie a mini laparotomy to improve depth perception, regain tactile sensation, aid in tissue extraction, and reduce operative time. This method relied upon tight apposition of the abdominal wall tissues against the surgeon’s forearm to maintain pneumperitoneum. difficulty with air leak and the inability to advance or withdraw the hand with sudden loss of pneumoperitoneum led necessarily to the development of hand-assist devices.
