The minimal requirement of a given wound size usually depends on the solid component of the tumor. In order not to deform the tumor, the size of the wound is usually slightly larger than the solid portion. In this case, the shape is disk-like and approximately 3.5 cm. The wound is thus 3.7 cm and the tumor was removed in an endo-bag without any squeezing of the neoplasm.
