Combination of Cholecystectomy and Salpingooophorectomy in Keyless Abdominal Rope-lifting Surgical Technique

Abstract

Introduction: During keyless abdominal rope-lifting surgery (KARS) the intra-abdominal operations are performed through the single intra-umbilical incision following the lifting of the abdominal wall by sutures loaded in the Veress cannula without using CO2 and trocars. However, it is unclear whether KARS is suitable for the combination of two different surgical procedures performed in the lower and upper abdominal viscera. In this paper we aimed to present the first case of the combination of cholecystectomy and salpingooophorectomy performed by using the KARS technique.
