Figure 3. Port placement for the abdominal (A) and thoracic (B) procedures. The labeled numbers represent the robotic arm number. Robotic staplers are inserted in arm no. 2 during abdominal procedures and in arm no.3 during thoracic procedures. A 12-mm port is necessary for the robotic stapler arm. An assistant surgeon can share the glove port with the robot, and an additional assistant port is not necessary. This figure is adapted from Park et al.
