Abstract: Microlaparoscopy represents the development of endoscopic surgery towards a minimally invasive surgical procedure. The advantages include fewer surgical complications, faster return to daily activities, more comfortable postoperative recovery, and satisfactory aesthetic results. The possibility of performing surgery under sedation may result in shorter hospitalization, lower hospital costs, and easier anesthetic procedures. The authors report their preliminary experience with the use of microlaparoscopy, using… Show more

“…The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant. 9,[15][16][17][18][19][20] The mean duration of post-op hospital stay was 3.5 hours in Group I (5mm) and 3.3 hours in Group II (2.9mm). The difference was not statistically significant.…”

“…With advancement of minimally invasive surgery, conventional laparoscope has been gradually replaced by smaller diameter telescopes with advantages of smaller incision, reduced risk of injury to pelvic organs, less anesthesia requirement, sutureless procedure, better cosmesis, less postoperative discomfort, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery, and reduced risk of adhesion formation, wound infection, and incisional hernia. [ 11 12 13 14 ] Minilaparoscopy, i.e., laparoscopy with smaller diameter endoscope is defined by the diameter of telescope by various criteria like O' Donovan criteria[ 15 ] or Unify criteria. [ 12 ]…”

“…Ikeda et al [ 20 ] analyzed 16 cases of microlaparoscopy using a 2-mm telescope and performed therapeutic surgeries such as endometriosis resection, cauterization, salpingostomy for ectopic pregnancy, adhesiolysis, and myomectomy. Two 5-mm accessory punctures were made depending on the size of the sample to be removed from the abdominal cavity.…”

“…Ikeda et al [ 20 ] found better cosmesis as no suture was applied, less infection rates, and less chances of incisional hernia due to the small size of the incision. Despite the small sample size of 20 patients, Ferreira et al [ 23 ] observed a statistically significant difference in cosmesis for sacrocolpopexy cases between standard laparoscopy and minilaparoscopy.…”
