Anything less than 5 cm is going to be tough. How old are the babies you are talking about? Unless its a solitary kidney I think its safe to wait until the baby is at least 3 months not 6 months. That makes your port placement much easier not to mention that the ureter will be a bit bigger and easier to manipulate. Something to consider is this port placement (attached) where the camera is medial to the contralateral ASIS. Gives you quite a bit of room even in the small babies
