Abstract
A 5-mm trocar is inserted at the umbilicus for the laparoscope. Be sure to have the valves closed and the safety mechanism activated (if the valves are open, the CO2 will escape immediately upon entering the abdominal cavity). Guard the forearm to prevent rushing in too deeply. When inserting the trocar, lift up the abdominal wall bilaterally.
