A simple maneuver to replace dislodged laparoscopic port.
Inadvertent dislodgment of laparoscopic port can occur despite preventive measures. We describe a simple maneuver to replace a dislodged port using a palpation probe. The principle is analogous to that of using a laparoscopic grasping forceps. It is easy to perform, quick, reliable, safe, and particularly useful for the laparoscopists in training.
