Single-port access in laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Abstract

Transumbilical single-port access cholecystectomy (SPACE) is a feasible technique for operating with less scars and reducing postoperative discomfort at the same time. The transumbilical single-port access for laparoscopic cholecystectomy has multiple benefits, such as better cosmetic results, less wound infections, and less incisional hernias. That is why SPACE is even more appropriate for obese patients. Using one-hand specialized instruments, which are curved at the shaft, and a semiflexible laparoscopic camera (LTFVH, Olympus) will make SPACE more comfortable and more time-saving.

The initial experience of dual port laparoscopy-assisted total gastrectomy as a reduced port surgery for total gastrectomy

“…In recent years, reduced port surgery (RPS), including single port surgery (SPS), in which fewer ports are used than in conventional procedures, has become increasingly popular in various surgical fields [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. There have been reports describing the application of RPS to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for morbid obesity or laparoscopic partial gastrectomy for gastrointestinal stromal tumors, and the use of RPS has recently also been reported in laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer [1,7,[15][16][17].…”

Single Port Endolaparoscopic Surgery (SPES) in Double Abdominal Procedures

“…Different endolaparoscopic procedures using this approach were seen to be feasible and safe, [9][10][11][12] there still is no proven advantage of this technique over conventional endolaparoscopy. We believe that decreasing the number of incisions and increasing the number of procedures done will be the great advantage of single port surgery.…”

Single Incision Laparoscopic Splenectomy. Our First Experiences.

“…Many procedures such as (2,(10)(11)(12)(13)(14). The fi rst SILS practice in the world has been performed in our clinic (7).…”

“…Beginning with the fi rst laparoscopic appendectomy performed by K. Semm (1) in 1983, advanced laparoscopic surgery has become an increasingly common practice as a result of technological developments, surgical curiosity, and medical ambition (2)(3)(4). In the past 30 years, laparoscopic interventions have been used in various fi elds for treatment of many malignant and benign diseases (4).…”
