Abstract
We report a technique for safe laparoscopic access for gynaecological surgery in women who have had their abdominal wall reconstructed by plastic surgery. The abdominal wall incisions for placement of the trocars are made in the abdominoplasty scars and are cosmetically acceptable. In a limited series there appears to be no excess morbidity.
