A surgical access system comprises a trocar, an insufflating optical obturator slidably insertable into the trocar, and a laparoscope slidably insertable into the obturator. A distal end of the obturator comprises a tip, at least a portion of which comprises a wall with a generally uniform thickness comprising a transparent material. At least one vent hole disposed at the obturator tip is fluidly connected to a gas flow channel defined by an interior surface of the obturator and the laparoscope, which is fluidly connected to an insufflation gas inlet disposed at a proximal end of the trocar. Improved optical characteristics of the trocar system permit precise and accurate visual placement thereof into a body cavity. Accordingly the access system is suitable as a first entry surgical access system. Embodiments of the trocar access are also useful for drug delivery, and/or for fluid and/or tissue aspiration.

1. A surgical access system comprising: a tubular trocar comprising a longitudinal axis, a proximal end, a distal end, an elongate cannula, and a seal assembly disposed at a proximal end of the cannula;a fluid inlet disposed at a proximal end of the access system;an obturator slidably insertable into the proximal end of the cannula and through the seal assembly, the obturator comprising a longitudinal axis, a proximal end, a distal end, a tubular obturator shaft, a tapered obturator tip disposed at the distal end of the shaft, at least one vent hole disposed on the tip in fluid communication with the fluid inlet, and a handle disposed at the proximal end of the obturator shaft; the obturator having an inner surface that defines an inner contour and an outer surface that defines an outer contour; the obturator having a wall thickness defined between the inner surface and the outer surface; the obturator being sized and configured to receive a laparoscope having a distal end; andat least one laparoscope stop disposed on at least one of the interior surface of the obturator tip and the interior surface of the obturator shaft;wherein in transverse cross-section of the tip, the tip has a generally rectangular cross-section having two oppositely disposed sides having a longer dimension interconnected by two oppositely disposed sides having a relatively shorter dimension; wherein the shorter dimension of the generally rectangular inner surface of the tip of the obturator defines a stop for a laparoscope having a circular cross-section inserted into the obturator. 2. The surgical access system of claim 1 wherein the laparoscope stop is disposed within the obturator shaft and at the intersection of the obturator shaft and obturator tip. 3. The surgical access system of claim 1 wherein the laparoscope stop is disposed within the obturator shaft or at the intersection of the obturator shaft and obturator tip. 4. The surgical access system of claim 1 wherein the inner surface of the obturator tip of the obturator defines a laparoscope stop for a 5.0 mm and/or 5.5 mm laparoscope. 5. The surgical access system of claim 1 wherein the stop is for a 10 mm laparoscope. 6. The surgical access system of claim 1 wherein the inner surface of the obturator tip acts as the laparoscope stop. 7. The surgical access system of claim 1 wherein the obturator shaft includes at least one opening that perforates the obturator shaft and fluidly connects the inner lumen with the exterior thereof. 8. The surgical access system of claim 1 wherein the obturator shaft includes at least one opening that perforates the obturator shaft and fluidly connects the inner lumen of the obturator to the fluid inlet there by permitting fluid flow from the fluid inlet through the at least one opening and out the vent hole. 9. The surgical access system of claim 1 wherein the obturator is configured to receive a laparascope advanced to the laparoscope stop. 10. The surgical access system of claim 1 further including a laparoscope having a longitudinal axis, a distal end, and a transverse cross section at the distal end that is circular in shape; the distal end of the laparoscope is configured to contact the laparoscope stop defining a gas flow channel between the laparoscope and the inner contour of the tip. 11. The surgical access system of claim 1, in transverse cross-section of the tip, the outer contour has a generally rectangular transverse cross-section which substantially matches the inner contour which also has a generally rectangular transverse cross-section. 12. The surgical access system of claim 1 wherein the wall thickness at the obturator tip is substantially uniform to reduce distortion of an image observed through the obturator tip. 13. The surgical access system of claim 1 wherein the inner surface of the obturator tip and the outer surface of an inserted laparoscope together define a insufflation gas flow channel fluidly connecting the at least one vent hole to the fluid inlet. 14. The surgical access system of claim 1 wherein, in transverse cross-section of the tip, the tip has a generally rectangular cross-section has two oppositely disposed sides having a longer dimension interconnected by two oppositely disposed sides having a relatively shorter dimension; wherein the two oppositely disposed longer sides are outwardly curved. 15. The surgical access system of claim 1 wherein in transverse cross-section of the tip, the tip has a the generally rectangular cross-section that has two oppositely disposed sides having a longer dimension interconnected by two oppositely disposed sides having a relatively shorter dimension; wherein the two oppositely disposed shorter sides are straight. 16. The surgical access system of claim 1 wherein in transverse cross-section of the tip, the tip has a the generally rectangular cross-section that has two oppositely disposed sides having a longer dimension interconnected by two oppositely disposed sides having a relatively shorter dimension; wherein the two oppositely disposed shorter sides are straight and the two oppositely disposed longer sides are outwardly curved. 17. The surgical access system of claim 1 wherein the obturator accommodates laparoscopes with varying diameters. 18. The surgical access system of claim 1 wherein the obturator tip accommodates the distal end of the laparoscope. 19. A surgical access system comprising: a tubular trocar comprising a longitudinal axis, a proximal end, a distal end, an elongate cannula, and a seal assembly disposed at a proximal end of the cannula;a fluid inlet disposed at a proximal end of the access system;an obturator slidably insertable into the proximal end of the cannula and through the seal assembly, the obturator comprising a longitudinal axis, a proximal end, a distal end, a tubular obturator shaft, a tapered obturator tip disposed at the distal end of the shaft, at least one vent hole disposed on the tip in fluid communication with the fluid inlet, and a handle disposed at the proximal end of the obturator shaft; the obturator having an inner surface that defines an inner contour and an outer surface that defines an outer contour; the obturator having a wall thickness defined between the inner surface and the outer surface; the obturator being sized and configured to receive a laparoscope having a distal end; andat least one laparoscope stop disposed on at least one of the interior surface of the obturator tip and the interior surface of the obturator shaft;wherein in transverse cross-section of the tip, the tip has a generally rectangular cross-section having two oppositely disposed sides having a longer dimension interconnected by two oppositely disposed sides having a relatively shorter dimension; wherein the obturator is configured such that a gas flow channel is defined between the longer dimension of the rectangular inner surface of the tip and the outer surface of a laparoscope inserted into the obturator.
