The sigmoid (viewed from the umbilical port) was mobilized from its lateral peritoneal attachments by blunt and sharp dissection and retracted to the right via the right lower quadrant port. The left ureter is visible crossing the pelvic brim. There was a small amount of fluid in the pouch of Douglas.
A mesenteric defect was created at the rectosigmoid junction (where the taeniaee spread) and a linear stapler was inserted through the 12 mm suprapubic trochar site and closed across the bowel.
