Standard port placement for laparoscopic pancreatic surgery: How we do it
Abstract
Advanced laparoscopic surgeries are technically demanding, among which laparoscopic pancreatic surgeries are the most challenging. One of the technical difficulties is the improper port placement. As there is no standard port placement for laparoscopic pancreatic surgeries, it is difficult to get proper angle to work at different steps of the surgery if ports are not well placed. It is also responsible for musculoskeletal problems to the operating surgeon. Here we propose a standard port placement for laparoscopic pancreatic surgery which gives ergonomic comfort in all laparoscopic pancreatic surgeries.
