Single-incision laparoscopic adrenalectomy

Abstract

The findings of the present study suggest that SILA is as safe as conventional transabdominal laparoscopic adrenalectomy. Furthermore, SILA is associated with less pain and better cosmesis than the conventional laparoscopic procedure.

The learning curve of laparoendoscopic single-site adrenalectomy: an analysis of over 100 cases

“…LESS-A was recently reported to be superior to CLA and so has become more common [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. However, in spite of the technical difficulty of LESS-A, little is known BMI body mass index, VFA visceral fat area, TFA total fat area, ASA American Society of Anesthesiologists, APA aldosterone-producing adenoma, POD postoperative day about its learning curve and the factors associated with the outcomes of the procedure during the learning period.…”

“…Hirano et al [3], many studies have found that LESS-A has advantages over CLA [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. At our institution, LESS-A was introduced in 2009.…”

Transumbilical Single-Incision Laparoscopic Combined Cholecystectomy and Appendectomy: A Retrospective Comparative Study

“…Although specific benefits may vary according to the precise nature of the procedure, SILS is widely recognized as an improvement over conventional laparoscopic surgery, with some additional benefits such as reduced postoperative pain and superior cosmesis. [8][9][10][11] Although single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy or appendectomy has been accepted as an effective technique, [12][13][14] documentation about applying SILS in combined cholecystectomy and appendectomy remains rare. What is more, most of these studies are case reports or small case series for the purpose of introducing a new practice.…”

Laparo-endoscopic single-site left adrenalectomy using conventional ports and instruments

“…replaced the insufflation tube of the SILS port with a standard 5 or 10 mm trocar through which an extra instrument was used to retract the liver. [13] Choi et al . used a Glove Port (Nelis, Seoul, Korea) with four channels and a snake retractor was introduced through one of the channels for retraction and elevation of the right lobe of liver.…”
