Abstract
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive surgery is the preferred approach for performing many gynecologic procedures. Occasionally, supraumbilical port placement may be preferable to optimize visibility and maneuverability although the risks of complications are less well characterized compared to umbilical entry. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective review of computed tomograms from 92 patients to evaluate the anatomic considerations for umbilical and supraumbilical port entry based on patient age, body mass index (BMI), parity, abdominal wall thickness, and distance to the great vessels. RESULTS: Supraumbilical entry was not associated with differences in distance to the great vessels compared to the umbilicus. However, supraumbilical location and BMI were associated with greater abdominal wall thickness. Age and BMI were associated with greater distance to the great vessels, while age was associated with thinner abdominal wall. Multiple linear regression confirmed independent effects of age and BMI. No association between parity and distance to retroperitoneal vessels was observed. CONCLUSION: Younger patients may be at increased risk for great vessel injury and pre-peritoneal insufflation. Obese patients may be at risk for pre-peritoneal insufflation, while patients with BMI < 30, particularly with a skin-to-aorta distance < 7 cm, may be at an increased risk for great vessel injury. Surgeons should consider these factors when considering supraumbilical port entry.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
