Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Is Safe and Feasible
Objective: Single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) is a new advance wherein laparoscopic surgery is carried out through a single small incision hidden in the umbilicus. Advantages of this technique over standard laparoscopy are still under investigation. The objective of this study is to describe the short term outcomes of SILS cholecystectomies in a single community… Continue Reading

Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (silc): Initial Experience with Critical View Technique and Routine Intraoperative Cholangiography
Introduction: Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (SILC) is emerging as a potentially less invasive alternative to both standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and NOTES cholecystectomy. However, as this technique becomes more widely employed, it is important to maintain the ability to perform the critical view (CV) dissection and intraoperative cholangiography (IOC). We present our initial experience with… Continue Reading

Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (silc) Step By Step: Refining the Technique
SAGE Sponcor: Vic Velanovich, MD Background: The traditional four incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy is being challenged by new innovative single incision approach. We present our refined technique of the single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC), step by step, in an attempt to standardize this new technique and bring it as close as possible to the traditional four… Continue Reading

Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Using Conventional Instruments: A Comparison with the Gold Standard
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this pilot study was to analyze our initial experience using single umbilical incision cholecystectomy (SILC) with conventional laparoscopic equipment in comparison with standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). METHODS: Between June 1, 2008 and September 30, 2008, data from all consecutive patients undergoing LC by two surgeons were prospectively collected and retrospectively analyzed… Continue Reading

Single Incision Transumbilical Laparoscopic Appendectomy
IntroductionLaparoscopic appendectomy requires 3-4 skin incisions to place 3-4 trocars. We describe a technique for single incision transumbilical appendectomy that utilizes the same equipment required to perform standard laparoscopic appendectomy. MethodsSixteen patients underwent single incision laparoscopic appendectomy using the new technique, operative time, and complications were recorded. ResultsSixteen patients underwent single incision laparoscopic appendectomy with… Continue Reading

Single Port Access (spa) Cholecystectomies: Multi-institutional Report of the First 100 Cases
Since the inception of Single Port Access (SPA) surgery in April 2007, we have strived to develop a reproducible technique applicable to cholecystectomy. The ability of other surgeons in varying institutions to perform a new technique is an important step in determining its feasibility. In follow-up to the initial report of our training program presented… Continue Reading

Single Port Access (spa) Surgery: Initial 150 Cases Using a Novel Laparoscopic Single Incision Approach
Our initial work with Single Port Access (SPA) Surgery was the application of the technique to cholecystectomy and oopherectomy. We have now developed the SPA technique into a platform that allows multiple abdominal procedures to be accomplished through a single incision, yet in most cases, maintaining the same instrumentation and dissection techniques as standard multiport… Continue Reading

Single Port Access (spa) Technique
The Single Port Access (SPA) technique offers a novel approach to minimally invasive abdominal surgery. Using standard instrumentation, laparoscopic procedures can be performed entirely through the umbilicus in a similar fashion to standard multiport procedures.Utilizing subcutaneous flaps, low profile trocars and standard instruments, we have demonstrated a platform that allows “independence of motion” for each… Continue Reading

Single Port Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy with the Triport: Initial Experience
Introduction: As surgeons embrace the concept of increasingly less invasive surgery, techniques using only a single incision have begun to gain traction. The TriPort system (Advanced Surgical Concepts, Wicklow, Ireland) is a single port device which allows the surgeon to perform laparoscopic surgery through a single periumbilical incision. We are attempting to ascertain if the… Continue Reading

Single Port Surgery Made Easy with Internal Retractors
Achieving adequate retraction and exposure during abdominal surgery is a fundamental requirement. In traditional open surgery retraction is achieved by the surgeons’ hands and mechanical devices anchored to the operating table. During laparoscopy dedicated incisions are performed and instruments are inserted into the peritoneal cavity for this purpose alone. For example, during a standard laparoscopic… Continue Reading

The perforation of the GB in cases of incidental GB cancer: Indication for the use of retrieval bags?
Introduction: The accidental intraoperative perforation of the gallbladder is a problem of the laparoscopic surgery, if an incidental gallbladder carcinoma exists at the time of operation. According to the literature this complication comes up to 30% of the laparoscopic operations. In order to prevent the dissemination of tumour cells the use of an isolation bag… Continue Reading

The Treatment of Urachal Remnants By Laparoscopic Assistant Operation
Objective: To explore the application of laparoscopic technology in the operation of urachal remnants. Methods: Eight children with urachal remnants had been cured though urachal excision operation by Laparoscope in our hospital from july 2003 to January 2008. Result: All of cases recoverd uneventfully. The mean operating time was from 30 minutes to 45 minutes.… Continue Reading

Transumbilical Laparoscopic Urologic Surgery – Are Special Devices Strictly Necessary?
Introduction: Laparoscopic urologic surgery is generally performed using three to six ports by transperitoneal or retroperitoneal access. Recent developments regarding laparoscopic surgery have been directed toward reducing the size or number of ports to achieve the goal of minimal invasive surgery, by mini-laparoscopy, natural orifices access and transumbilical approach. In this paper we evaluated the… Continue Reading
