Moreover, up to 20% of these surgeries require port upsizing (replacing a small port with a larger port)—especially during emergencies thus leading to use of more environmentally harmful disposable ports and additional waste. In fact 9 million disposable ports are consumed annually just in North America (and 21 million globally).
