Standard laparoscopic practice is to remove all ports under vision and subsequently expel all the operative gas followed by removal of the laparoscope under direct vision. In view of the potential aerosol risks all ports used to release gas should have a suitable smoke extraction device attached. At the end of the procedure, gas should be removed using the combination of a suction device and releasing gas slowing via a filtered port. The accessory ports should be removed slowly and over a blunt probe, which is subsequently removed, to reduce the risk of hernia as removal under direct vision is not possible when avoiding inadvertent gas leakage.
