Local anesthesia was injected prior to the insertion of each port. A 12-mm incision was made 2 cm below the left costal margin in the anterior axillary line. The flank muscles were bluntly split with a large hemostat down to transversalis fascia. A finger was used to penetrate transversalis and peritoneum, using the costal margin as a fixed anchor.
