Early return to work: Single-port vs. multiport laparoscopic surgery for benign ovarian tumor

“…Bonollo et al ( 5 ) also reported that laparoendoscopic single-site surgery does not seem to demonstrate a clear superiority over MPLS, except for better cosmetic results in benign gynecological surgery. Yi ( 4 ) reported that single-site incision laparoscopic surgery for adnexal surgery is a safe technique. However, a certain training period for learning the technique is required.…”

“…Single-port laparoscopic surgery (SPLS) has become a common procedure for treating benign ovarian tumors ( 2 ). Studies by Capozzi et al ( 3 ) and Yi ( 4 ) have shown that single-site surgery seems to be a feasible and safe gynecological procedure for women with benign ovarian tumors. However, Bonollo et al ( 5 ) have reported that current evidence does not seem to demonstrate a clear superiority of laparoendoscopic single-site surgery over multiport laparoscopic surgery (MPLS), except for producing cosmetic results in benign gynecological surgery.…”
