Single-port laparoscopy (SPL) is a recently developed technique in laparoscopic surgery. It is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which the surgeon operates almost exclusively through a single entry point, typically the patient's navel. Unlike a traditional multi-port laparoscopic approach, SPL leaves only a single small scar.
Single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) is an advanced, minimally invasive (keyhole) procedure in which the surgeon operates almost exclusively through a single entry point, typically the patient's umbilicus . Special articulating instruments and access ports eliminate the need to place trochars externally for triangulation, thus allowing ...
Laparoscopic surgery, also called minimally invasive procedure, bandaid surgery, or keyhole surgery, is a modern surgical technique. There are a number of advantages to the patient with laparoscopic surgery versus an exploratory laparotomy. These include reduced pain due to smaller incisions, reduced hemorrhaging, and shorter recovery time.
More recently, studies by Ates et al. and Roberts et al. have described variants of an intracorporeal sling-based single-port laparoscopic appendectomy with good clinical results. [11] Also, a trend is increasing towards single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS), using a special multiport umbilical trocar. [12]
Trochars are introduced to gain access to the peritoneal cavity and serve as ports for the laparoscopic camera and other instruments. [8] Studies have proven the feasibility of single port access colectomy, which would require only one small incision, but no clear benefit in terms of outcome or complication rate has been demonstrated.

Disposable trocars Laparoscopic instruments for insertion through trocars. A trocar (or trochar) is a medical or veterinary device used in minimally invasive surgery.Trocars are typically made up of an awl (which may be metal or plastic with a pointed or tapered tip), a cannula (essentially a rigid hollow tube) and often a seal.

[50] [51] In 1994, the first international laparoscopic-band workshop was held in Belgium and the first involving the SAGB was held in Sweden. Single-port laparoscopy (SPL) is an advanced, minimally invasive procedure in which the surgeon operates almost exclusively through a single entry point, typically the navel. Special articulating ...
