Figure 1: Port positions. a(i) Wide umbilicus showing skin entries (A-5 mm, B-5 mm, C-10 mm) and respective fascial entries (D,E,F) of the ports. Note the technique of port insertion: ab -skin and subcutaneous entry, bc-upward and forward deflection in the subcutaneous space, cd-downward and forward deflection in the subcutaneous space, de-fascial and peritoneal entries. Note that the skin and the fascial entries are not overlapping. a(ii) Triangle (T1) -intriangle (T2) -effect for wide umbilicus. b(i) and b(ii): a similar depiction for narrow umbilicus
