A comparative cross-sectional study on cosmetic outcomes after single port or conventional laparoscopic surgery

Quality of life after single-port laparoscopic surgery versus conventional laparoscopic surgery for benign gynecologic disease

“…In regard to operative outcome, there was no difference in operating time, hospital stay, and complication rate between the groups. These results are in agreement with those of our previous studies on the SP-LS [2][3][4][5][6]. The finding that the operating time was not extended is thought to be due to the surgeon's experience with approximately 300 cases of SP-LS before current study; the technical advantages of SP-LS include quick removal of specimen through relatively large umbilical incision, surgical characteristics of gynecology, and so on.…”

“…In the gynecologic field, various studies on feasibility, safety, and learning curve of SP-LS as well as the effect of this surgical technique on postoperative pain, cosmesis, and female sexual function had been reported [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. However, a consensus has not been reached on some issues.…”

Single port laparoscopic myomectomy with intracorporeal suture-tying and transumbilical morcellation

“…One of the most certain and important advantages of SPLS is its cosmetic benefits [19]. The cosmetic benefit of SPLM exceeds that of other single port operations because conventional laparoscopic myomectomy results in a larger (12-15 mm) scar on the lower abdomen due to tissue morcellation.…”

Laparoendoscopic Single Site Total Hysterectomy: Single Institution Initial Experience

“…9 A comparative cross-sectional study on cosmetic outcomes after LESS and conventional laparoscopic gynecologic surgery reported that LESS offers better cosmetic and overall patient satisfaction. 10 At the beginning, LESS is generally used with vaginal hysterectomy as an assisted procedure. [9][10][11][12] There are fewer studies in the literature on LESS -TH than on LESS-assisted vaginal hysterectomy.…”

“…10 At the beginning, LESS is generally used with vaginal hysterectomy as an assisted procedure. [9][10][11][12] There are fewer studies in the literature on LESS -TH than on LESS-assisted vaginal hysterectomy. 3,7,13 In this study, we present our experience on total hysterectomy with LESS and make a retrospective comparative analysis of the surgical outcomes for LESS-TH and conventional TLH.…”
