6. Is asymmetry common with the trans-umbilical approach?

This is yet another fallacy regarding TUBA -- asymmetry is almost always present preoperatively in the patient. The skill of the surgeon plays a significant part in correctly determining the appropriate implant size and placing this implant in the proper fashion. Asymmetry is just as common in traditional incision placements as TUBA.
