**Figure 1.** *Types of ports. A) Sils covidien, B) Gel point, C) Triport, D) Uni-X, E) Quadric port. F) Anchorport R by Surgiquest.*

Uni-X by Pnavel, Tri or quadric port by Olympus, and AnchorPort R by SurgiQuest. (**Figure 1**) Each port has its own unique feature, so the selection of the port depends on the surgeon, availability, and cost factor. The author has found that Covidien© (Medtronic) port is the most suitable one as it is small in size and it can adopt 15 mm port for introducing GIA stapler and endobag.
