Abstract
The performance of a laparoscopic procedure requires access to the peritoneal cavity. The initial access and placement of subsequent or secondary portals of entry have unique features that make it helpful to consider them separately in terms of issues related to complications. The primary goal of both initial and subsequent port placement is to gain safe access to the peritoneal cavity that allows the surgeon and assistant(s) to work in an ergonomically favorable position.
