In brief
This letter addresses the correct spelling of "Veress needle" in pediatric laparoscopic surgery literature, emphasizing the importance of accurate medical nomenclature and proper attribution to the instrument's inventor.
Written by the GCMD Library team from the article.
We read with interest the article entitled: “Safety of Veress needle for laparoscopic entry in children: Myth or reality?” by Alessio Pini Prato, Federico Palo, Maria Grazia Faticato, Claudio Carlini, Girolamo Mattioli (1), which was published in the July 2, 2020, issue of the Journal of Pediatric Surgery. The article was very well developed for which I must congratulate you. However, I cannot let it pass that “Veress” is incorrectly spelled. I keep seeing this error with concern in several articles, and we must have respect for Dr.
