A second connection nipple is provided on the control device and connected by a nipple to the pressure gauge. The second connection nipple is connected by a further flexible tubing either to a dual Veress needle or to a second single Veress needle, so that the pressure gauge is directly connected with the body cavity rather than through the operative Veress needle. | |
