Why are four ports used in laparoscopic surgery?
Laparoscopic surgery typically involves creating four small incisions, primarily for inserting the laparoscope, surgical instruments, establishing pneumoperitoneum, assisting with optimal visualization of the surgical field, and minimizing intraoperative injury. Proper port placement ensures accurate and safe surgical procedures, improving both efficiency and outcomes. If there are any preoperative concerns regarding port sites or postoperative symptoms such as redness, swelling, or pain around the incisions, patients should promptly consult a surgeon.
