Introduction of operation-customized port system, utilization of a camera without a separate external light, and instruments with different lengths has brought the favorable environment for SPLS. However, performing SPLS still creates several hardships compared to multiport laparoscopic surgery; a single-port system inevitably leads to clashing of surgical instruments due to crowding. To overcome such difficulties, investigators has developed novel concepts and maneuvers, including the concept of inverse triangulation and the maneuvers of pivoting, spreading out dissection, hanging suture, and transluminal traction. The final destination of SPLS is expected to be a completely seamless operation, maximizing the minimal invasiveness. Specimen extraction through the umbilicus can undermine cosmesis by inducing a larger incision. Therefore, hybrid laparoscopic technique, which combined laparoscopic surgical technique with natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE) - i.e., transvaginal or transanal route-, has been developed. SPLS and NOSE seemed to be the best combination in pursuit of minimal invasiveness. In the near future, robotic SPLS with natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery’s way of specimen extraction seems to be pursued. It is expected to provide a completely or nearly complete seamless operation regardless of location of the lesion in the abdomen.展开更多

Under these circumstances, the reasonable replacement of a human camera assistant by a mechanical camera holder has resulted in a new surgical procedure termed singleport solo surgery(SPSS). In SPSS, the fixation and coordinated movement of a camera held by mechanicaldevices provides fixed and stable operative images that are under the control of the operator. Therefore, SPSS primarily benefits from the provision of the operator's eye-to-hand coordination. Because SPSS is an intuitive modification of SPLS, the indications for SPSS are the same as those for SPLS. Though SPSS necessitates more actions than the surgery with a human assistant, these difficulties seem to be easily overcome by the greater provision of static operative images and the need for less lens cleaning and repositioning of the camera. When the operation is expected to be difficult and demanding, the SPSS process could be assisted by the addition of another instrument holder besides the camera holder.展开更多

The surgical charts of all patientsaged between 0 and 14 years treated with transumbili-cal laparoscopic-assisted appendectomy admitted tothe authors' institution from January 2009 to Septem-ber 2013 with a diagnosis of suspected appendicitis fol-lowing clinical, laboratory and ultrasound findings werereviewed. Operating time, intraoperative findings, needfor conversion or for additional trocars, and surgicacomplications were reported. During the study period,120 patients aged between 6 and 14 years(mean age:9.9 years), 73 females(61%) and 47 males(39%),were treated with transumbilical laparoscopic-assistedappendectomy. There were 37 cases of hyperemicappendicitis(subserosal and retrocecal), 74 cases ofphlegmonous appendicitis and 9 cases of perforatedgangrenous appendicitis. It was not possible to estab-lish a correlation between grade of appendicitis andmean operating time(P > 0.05). Eleven cases(9%)needed the use of one additional trocar, while 8 pa-tients(6%) required conversion to the standard laparo-scopic technique with the use of two additional trocars. No patient was converted to the open technique. Tran-sumbilical laparoscopic-assisted appendectomy is a safe technique in children and it could be used by surgeons who want to approach other minimally invasive tech-niques.展开更多
