Gloved Appendectomy Performed With a Gloved Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery Technique Versus Conventional Multiport Laparoscopic Technique

Abstract

Introduction: Using a commercially available multichannel port for single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) can be cost prohibitive to the development of this novel surgical technique. The use of a glove and Alexis wound protector allows laparoscopic surgeons to perform glove single incision laparoscopic surgery (G-SILS) at lower cost.
