Since 2007, various urological procedures have been performed with laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS surgery), including nephrectomy, pyeloplasty, simple prostatectomy and, with the refinement of laparoscopic instrumentation, radical prostatectomy. This paper reports our initial experience in radical prostatectomy using the SILS Port from Covidiem and two lateral 5-mm trocars for triangulation. The SILS Port allows for accurate, simple insertion through a Hadson incision. The flexible port accommodates three 5-mm cannulas or two 5-mm cannulas and a 12-mm port for easier instrument exchange through a single incision. This approach decreases morbidity from bleeding, hernia and/or internal organ damage and improves cosmetic. One-port single-incision laparoscopy is part of the natural development of minimally invasive surgery. Future research is required to assess the intraoperative and postoperative benefits of LESS surgery as compared to standard laparoscopy.
Desde el añ o 2007 se está n realizando distintos procedimientos en cirugía laparoendoscópica por puerto ú nico (laparoendoscopic single-site surgery), incluyendo nefrectomía, pieloplastia, adenomectomía prostá tica y, con el perfeccionamiento del instrumental laparoscó pico, prostatectomía radical. Presentamos nuestra experiencia inicial en prostatectomía radical laparoscó pica utilizando el dispositivo Single-Incision Laparoscopic Surgery Port s de Covidien y 2 trocares auxiliares de 5 mm colocados lateralmente para triangulació n. El Single-Incision Laparoscopic Surgery Port s permite una inserció n precisa y sencilla a travé s de una incisió n de Hadson. El puerto flexible contiene 3 cá nulas de 5 mm o 2 cá nulas de 5 mm y una de 12 mm para facilitar el intercambio de instrumental a travé s de la incisió n ú nica. Este abordaje disminuye la morbilidad por sangrado, hernias y/o lesió n de los ó rganos internos y mejora los resultados cosmé ticos. El puerto ú nico forma parte del desarrollo natural de la cirugía mínimamente invasiva. Se necesita má s experiencia para determinar los beneficios intra y postoperatorios de la cirugía laparoendoscó pica por puerto ú nico en comparació n con la laparoscopia convencional.
