Abstract
Use of a fixator significantly reduces plain (smooth) sleeve trocar movement and prohibits complete dislocation or slippage of the port, and suturing the device to the skin further minimizes trocar movement. Trocar stabilization via a fixation device may lead to shorter operative time and reduce problems associated with trocar slippage or dislocation.
