Laparoscopic myomectomy is a minimally invasive surgical option for the treatment of uterine leiomyomas. Single-incision laparoscopy is a relatively new concept that has potential in gynaecological surgery although the technical challenges of single-incision access have limited the widespread use of the technique. The use of ...
Single-incision laparoscopic surgery is an alternative to conventional multiport laparoscopy. Single-access laparoscopy using a transumbilical port affords maximum cosmetic benefits because the surgical incision is hidden in the umbilicus. The advantages of single-access laparoscopic ...

The quest to make minimally invasive techniques even more 'minimal' has generated a drive within the surgical community to explore novel ways of achieving this. This has led to surgeons attempting to either decrease the number of trocars placed through the abdominal wall or eliminate them completely. This led to the evolution of several approaches, including natural orifice translumenal endoscopic ...
Total hysterectomy was performed via laparoscopy alone in 50 patients. In all cases, the operation was carried out using conventional, re-usable instruments (grasping forceps, laparoscopic scissors, bipolar coagulation). The mean duration of the operation was 163 min (range: 110-270 min). The mean drop in haemoglobin was 1.97 g/100 ml (range: 0-4 g/100 ml) and the average ...

Increasing numbers of surgical procedures are performed using minimally invasive techniques, in which trauma to ex-ternal tissue is minimized. Unfortunately, reduced access re-duces dexterity, limits perception, increases strain and the likelihood of error, and lengthens procedure time. Surgi-cal technology must improve the interface between task re-quirements and human ...

Laparoscopic nephrectomy has assumed a central role in the management of benign and malignant kidney diseases. While laparoscopy is less morbid than open surgery, it still requires several incisions each at least 1-2 cm in length. Each incision carries morbidity risks of bleeding, hernia and/or internal organ damage, and incrementally decreases cosmesis. ...
