Figure 4 Intra-operative view of single-incision laparoscopic colectomy.
We make an 2.5-cm long vertical incision in the umbilicus, and typically use E-Z Access (Hakko Co. Ltd., Nagano, Japan) on the Lap Protector™ (Hakko Co. Ltd., Nagano, Japan) for the insertion of two 5-mm trocars and one 12-mm trocar for a right colectomy, and one 5-mm trocar and two 12-mm trocars for a left colectomy, sigmoidectomy or rectal resection.
