Once the procedure begins,the anesthesia provider places the patient in the Trendelenburg position to displace the viscera from the pelvis into the upper abdomen to improve visualization.Once the patient is positioned and draped,the patient instrument cart is docked,and instruments are inserted into the patient.If the patient's condition deteriorates and something needs to be done that involves moving the patient,the patient cannot be moved until the instruments are removed or it could cause serious damage to the internal organs.
