Single port laparoscopic surgery's Description

Single-incision surgery involves the use of a flexible scope and instruments that can easily move around inside the body and produce images from almost every angle. Additionally, the instrument provides surgeons with a larger field of view and helps them avoid situations where the tips of different instruments collide in smaller spaces during the operation.

Single-incision surgery represents an important step for minimally-invasive surgical procedures. Ultimately, this innovative method may be the first step in the use of traditional flexible endoscopes in minimally-invasive surgery by using natural orifices of the human body as entry points. Currently, three different routes to the peritoneal cavity are being investigated: transgastric, transvaginal and transcolonic.
