Single Port 11 mm Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Performed on a 32-Year-Old Female with Adhesive Disease

Abstract

In the field of minimally invasive surgery, there is constant drive to devise and execute the most minimally invasive surgeries possible. By the very nature of laparoscopy and robotic surgery, what one can accomplish with several ports of a given size will invariably be studied and attempted with fewer ports and with ports of smaller sizes. Although more complex pathology may require a more invasive approach, surgical cases without serious complicating factors may be amenable to extremely minimally invasive procedures. We report one such case where a 32-year-old female suffering from adenomyosis and endometriosis was able to receive a laparoscopic single-port hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy through a single 11 mm port created with a blunt trochar.

Clinical Comparison of 5mm Mini-incision Laparoendoscopic Single-Site Hysterectomy and Traditional Laparoendoscopic Single-Site Hysterectomy

“…Experts of LESS domestic and overseas are also continuously reducing surgical scar and improving the cosmetic effect as much as possible. In 2020, Marchand G et al reported a case of laparoendoscopic single-site hysterectomy with an incision length of 11mm, which is the smallest reported laparoendoscopic single-site hysterectomy with a good surgical effect [9]. The department of gynecology in our hospital has performed laparoendoscopic single-site hysterectomy through a 5mm mini-•incision for some patients with suitable conditions since April 2018, and reported the laparoendoscopic single-site hysterectomy through a 5mm mini-•incision for the first time in 2019.…”
