Where this comes from

Abstract

Problems with currently available trocar sleeves are listed. A second-puncture, lower-quadrant sleeve of a special design that eliminates these problems is described: short, self-retaining because of a screw grid on its external surface, and without a trap. Suggestions for modification of the umbilical sleeve trocar are advanced.
