First experience of single-port laparoscopy

Abstract

The paper provides first experience of performing single-port laparoscopic surgery. The authors have conducted 14 cholecystectomies and 4 cystectomies by means of S-portal (R. Storz) toolkit. No complications have been observed. The wound was being recovered via primary intention. The authors highlight advantages of single-port laparoscopy and indicate complexities associated with low angle of attack of the tools and their impossibility of rotating.
