Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Scientific title
Study objectivesTo compare cutting and conical mechanisms for port induction with regard to port fixity to the abdominal wall during laparoscopic surgery.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedSurgery: Laparoscopy
InterventionGroup 1: 5mm and 10mm ports with cutting trocars and smooth shaft
Group 2: 5mm and 10mm ports with conical trocars and smooth shaft
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measure(s)

The traction required to partially withdraw the secondary 5mm and 10mm port from the abdominal wall is measured using purpose designed device. The measurements will be taken at the beginning of surgery and every 30mins thereafter until completion of the operation.
