Transumbilical single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Abstract: The results of our initial experience of TUSPLC in 15 well-selected patients with cholelithiasis are encouraging. All procedures were completed successfully within a reasonable time. No extra-umbilical incisions were used and virtually no scar remained. TUSPLC could be a promising alternative method for the treatment of some patients with symptomatic gallstone disease as scarless abdominal surgery.

“…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].…”

“…Examples include the use of a single skin incision with multiple fascial punctures, wound protectors with surgical gloves, and single-port access devices. 3,4 Recently, single-port access devices with 3 to 4 operating channels have been more widely used by various surgeons and reported in literature. 5 The Gelpoint device was the single-port device selected for our case, mainly because its cap provided an additional outer working area facilitating tissue triangulation without the need for angulated instruments.…”

“…In most instances of NOTES, the endoscope is passed through a natural orifice rather than an incision. As such, NOTES is considered less invasive and scarless Hong et al, 2009;Qiu et al, 2011). Transumbilical single incision surgery where a single incision is made at the navel was also introduced as scarless surgery.…”
