Figures

Fig 1 — Fig 1
Impact of abdominal wall thickness (skin to peritoneal distance) on trocar range of motion. A) In the lean male, the rigid trocar has a greater range of motion with less tissue resistance compared to B) male with thick “belly fat” which hampers the freedom of instrument maneuverability. A greater amount of force/torque is required to change the trocar angulation. Such evaluation is more accurate with waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio, as well as measuring on axial imaging.
