            Abstract : 
Port placement planning is an important aspect in minimally invasive robotic surgery. Proper port placement can improve the quality and efficiency of the surgery. This paper proposes a new and concise port placement planning method based on the workspace minimally invasive robotic surgery required. Robotic-assisted cholecystectomy is selected to expound this method. Optimal port placement in robotic-assisted cholecystectomy is discussed and simulated through this method.
