Team 18: Miniature 3mm Laparoscopic Port

Abstract

Laparoscopic surgeries on neonates require smaller surgical ports than those used on children to facilitate minimally invasive access to the abdominal cavity. Larger ports can crowd the surgical field and are easily dislodged from the abdominal wall. With Children鈥檚 Hospital Colorado, we developed a 3mm port that incorporates a novel retention mechanism and minimizes the presence of the port head.
