: This paper is the description of a technique that uses a different anatomical approach for an established procedure of blind port insertion in laparoscopic surgeries and does not come under World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki definition of human experimentation. Still, the procedure and relevant risk involved was presented and discussed in our institution’s review and audit board meeting. The board agreed upon the safety aspect of the technique and concluded that since it is a retrospective study and does not disclose the identity of the patient, it does not require ethical committee approval. It was believed that this technique is undertaken in the best interest of the patients and does not violates Indian Council of Medical Research ethical guidelines (2017).
