Explanation

"Camera port fascia" refers to the area of tough, fibrous tissue (fascia) that a surgeon accesses to insert a camera during a laparoscopic surgery. Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure where small incisions are made in the body to insert a camera and other surgical tools. The camera provides a live feed of the internal organs, allowing the surgeon to perform the operation with precision. The "camera port" is the specific incision through which the camera is inserted, and the "fascia" is the layer of tissue it must pass through.
