pubmed-article:18699751 | pubmed:abstractText | The 5-mm camera is currently widely utilized in Laparoscopic surgery. A disturbing problem for the laparoscopic surgeon is when this Port is becoming smudged by fat or blood, affecting the cleanliness of the 5-mm camera lens after insertion. Due to its narrow, long tube, cleaning this port is tricky. In this paper, we advocate a simple, cheap, and effective method for preventing the staining of the port, using a sterile culture swab stick. | lld:pubmed |
