Complaint confirmed.The evaluation confirmed that a section of distal flange was torn from the passport cannula.The observed condition is most likely caused by improper technique such as incorrect instruments used to insert the passport cannula, incorrect portal incision size, excessive force applied during insertion and/or by use of a sharp instrument.
