Explanation

A trocar port is a medical device used during surgery. It's a small tube that doctors insert into the body to allow them to pass surgical instruments or a camera into the body. This is often used in minimally invasive surgeries, like laparoscopic surgery, where small incisions are made instead of one large one. The trocar port acts like a gateway, allowing doctors to perform the surgery without making a large cut.
