This document proposes a new standardized approach to describing laparoscopic surgical procedures using an abdominal wall map. [1] It outlines a hexagonal map of the anterior abdominal wall divided into 12 numbered sectors with 3 zones (a, b, c) within each sector radiating from the umbilicus. [2] Surgical incisions and trocar insertion points can then be clearly documented using the sector and zone, along with size of trocar. [3] This provides a simplified uniform method for describing laparoscopic procedures.
