    Abstract: A method for determining surgical port placement for minimally invasive surgery. Based on received measurements, an instance of a parametric torso model that defines an external surface and a visceral surface each having a dome shape that takes into account an insufflation effect, is determined. Normalized surgical target locations in the parametric torso model are determined in response to an identification of a surgical procedure, and are mapped to un-normalized surgical target locations. Permissible port locations on the instance of the parametric torso model are computed, based on the characteristics of a surgical tool and based on the un-normalized surgical target locations. Other aspects are also described and claimed.
