“…[8][9][10][11] This was overcome by making a 2 to 5 cm incision (laparoscopy-assisted surgeries) through which the bowel could be exteriorized. [3][4][5][6] The isolation, preparation, and establishment of bowel continuity was performed as in open surgery. The prepared loop was then pushed back into the abdominal cavity, and the incision was closed in layers.…”

“…1,2 Laparoscopy-assisted surgery can overcome the limitations of pure laparoscopic surgery to a certain extent [3][4][5][6][7] wherein an incision of 2 to 5 cm or more is made to complete or assist the procedure. We describe a method of transportal technique using the port instead of an incision.…”
The transportal technique of laparoscopy-assisted surgery achieves all the advantages of pure laparoscopic surgery without a formal incision, as in laparoscopy-assisted surgery. Hence, it is a less morbid, quicker, and cost-effective method.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
