Transumbilical Approach in Laparoscopic Surgery

An effective and aesthetic technique for umbilical port closure is proposed, taking into account the risk factors that could trigger complications previously seen with other common techniques. The complications with the present technique were minimal, therefore the degree of acceptance by the patients is acceptable since the scar is practically invisible in the umbilical scar.
