Abstract
We report a case of a 46 year old woman who was posted for laparoscopic cystectomy, where injury to the mesenteric vessel caused by veress needle, made us abandon the laparoscopy procedure and convert it to exploratory laparotomy. Even though veress needle is accepted as a safe method for insertion, more studies are required to evaluate veress needle technique for creating pneumoperitoneum in terms of safety profile.

Keywords: Cystectomy; Veress needle; Laparotomy; Pneumoperitoneum
