“…All patients were satisfied with the cosmetic results. Linke et al (2010) assessed the feasibility and safety of rigid-hybrid transvaginal NOTES approach in routine practice for symptomatic cholecystolithiasis or acute cholecystitis in a patient population with low selection. One hundred and two consecutive patients were included in the study.…”

Single incision laproscopic surgery is an alternative to conventional multiport laproscopy. Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery term coined by a Consortium in 2005 remains a research technique with few clinical cases. Single incision surgery offers advantage of better cosmesis, reduced incisions, lesser hernias, decreased pain and infections. Long learning curves and cost of instrumentation are the difficulties encountered in its propagation. Single incision laproscopic surgery is an evolving technique for advanced laproscopic centers. This article outlines the overview of devices and instruments and the techniques, feasibility of single incision laproscopic surgery.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has proven to be a safe and effective procedure, with low rates of complications and mortality since its introduction in the late 1980s. However, surgeons have been working to develop alternatives to this technique to improve clinical outcomes and the level of patient satisfaction. Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) is one such alternative. NOTES has potential benefits compared to conventional laparoscopic and open surgery, including reduced abdominal wall trauma and trocar site complications, lower infection rates, less postoperative pain, decreased hospital stays, and excellent cosmetic results. Transvaginal hybrid NOTES cholecystectomy is the most common NOTES procedure performed. The objective of this article is to review this surgical technique and its clinical outcomes based on the current scientific evidence available in the literature.
