“…The ports and instruments for this approach were designed for use in adults, which has led to an extensive experience in this population [5][6][7][8]. In fact, randomized studies in adults suggest that outcomes in single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy are comparable with those found in the traditional multiport operation [9,10].…”

“…We have reported our learning curve in transumbilical multiple-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy and a trend towards reduced operative times with more experience [12]. We also reported that the difficulty of the procedure was due to confined operating space, in line positioning of laparoscope, close proximity of working instruments with limited triangulation, limited range of motion of laparoscope and instruments, and decreased number of ports.…”

The concept of laparoscopic single-incision surgery is an attractive and understandable innovation as laparoscopic surgery has become more commonplace. Based on our experience, we believe that the procedure is feasible without additional risk. Cosmetic benefit is clear; however, beyond the actual outcome with respect to postoperative pain and long-term complications, needs to be evaluated and compared to standard laparoscopic TAPP mesh hernioplasty.

“…LESS and NOTES are typical examples of such techniques. A considerable number of studies have been performed (17–19) and advancements have been achieved. In our case, however, problems arose during the process of popularization mainly due to the disadvantages, including the use of specialized instrumentation and higher surgical costs.…”

Single-port laparoscopic technology is effective in minimally invasive surgery. However, this technology requires expensive instrumentation. In the present study, an alternative minimally invasive technique, periumbilical laparoscopic surgery through triple channels using common instrumentation, is introduced. Increased use of this new technique may be worthwhile since its results are comparable with those of single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Periumbilical laparoscopic cholecystectomy using common instruments through triple channels was performed in 78 cases of simple cholecystolithiasis and 30 of gallbladder polyposis which were compared with a control group consisting of 356 cases of traditional laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The surgery was successfully completed using common instrumentation without complications in 106 cases from the experimental group. However, in 2 cases the surgery was changed to the traditional laparoscopic cholecystectomy due to bleeding in the area of Calot’s Triangle. No statistical differences in the amount of surgical bleeding, intestinal function restoration time, hospitalization time and cost were observed between the two groups. The mean surgery times of the experimental and control groups were 110.31±14.57 and 43.98±7.64 min, respectively. The difference in surgery times was statistically significant. Based on relevant experience of the process of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the periumbilical triple channel technique is safe and feasible for use in basic-level medical units and does not produce abdominal scarring so an unblemished appearance is preserved. Moreover, this approach only requires common laparoscopic instruments.
