Grade D Two alternatives for the trocar placement: two 5-mm working ports in the midline, and in the midway between the camera port and the pubic symphysis.
Alternatively, the second working trocar (5 or 10 mm) can be placed after lateral dissection approximately 3–4 cm superior and 1–2 cm anterior to the anterosuperior iliac spine.
Lateral working trocars are favored when mesh overlap over the midline is perceived to be difficult.
