ABSTRACT
Obtaining a clear view during laparoscopic surgery in the posterior abdominal cavity, on the abdominal backwall, or during colon surgery is time consuming and therefore one of the major objections to these procedures. In an experimental setting we positioned the animals in the prone position using the abdominal flanks to introduce the trocars. Our experience with this position is that a clear and unobstructed view of the abdominal back wall and the large intestines is obtained, facilitating laparoscopic procedures in these areas.
