Urological laparoendoscopic single‐site and reduced port surgery: A nationwide survey in Japan

Abstract

The number of laparoendoscopic single-site and reduced port urological surgeries in Japan has increased for benign indications, such as pyeloplasty, donor nephrectomy and simple nephrectomy. In contrast, procedures such as adrenalectomy and radical nephrectomy are trending down after reaching a peak in 2012. Overall, laparoendoscopic single-site and reduced port urological surgery in Japan is being safely carried out when compared with other reported series of laparoendoscopic single-site surgery and conventional laparoscopic surgery.

Comparison of Perioperative Outcomes Between Single-Port and Multi-Port Robotic Adrenalectomy

“…16 Despite these advancements, the use of LESS techniques for adrenalectomy has decreased over the last decade. 17 The introduction of the da Vinci robotic system has allowed improved visualization and surgical maneuverability. A meta-analysis of 277 robotic-assisted and 323 conventional laparoscopic adrenalectomies noted no differences in complication rates between the 2 approaches, but a longer hospitalization time and increased estimated blood loss was noted in the laparoscopic cohort.…”

“…Editorial Comment to Urological laparoendoscopic single-site and reduced port surgery: A nationwide survey in Japan Narita et al gave us an excellent review of the situation of laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) and reduced port surgery in Japan. 1 Allow me to add a general comment to LESS. LESS was introduced for the first time in 2007.…”

Reduced-port endo-laparoscopic surgery using umbilical zigzag incision for concomitant operations: A case series

“…Recently, the use of reduced-port surgery (RPS) has become widespread in many fields of laparoscopic surgery [[1], [2], [3]]. However, RPS is a difficult operation owing to issues such as loss of triangulation and extraction of a specimen.…”
