Abstract
A surgical access device, such as in the form of a Veress needle or trocar/obturator, for use in providing access to a patient in a surgical setting is disclosed. The surgical access device incorporates one or more sensors to provide real-time data usable to evaluate an insertion position of the surgical access device and provide feedback to a live user or robotic insertion device. Additionally, a system and method for adjusting a flow of insufflation gas based on the real-time data and a sensed pressure at the surgical access device is described.
