Cosmesis, patient satisfaction, and quality of life after da Vinci Single-Site cholecystectomy and multiport laparoscopic cholecystectomy: short-term results from a prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled trial.

Background: Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy evolved from the traditional multiport laparoscopic technique. Prior trials have demonstrated improved cosmesis with the single-incision technique. Robotic single-site surgery minimizes the technical difficulties associated with laparoscopic single-incision approach.

R-LESS right colectomy with the single-site® robotic platform.

Background: Use of robotics has exemplified single-site procedures by restoring the correct hand-instrument alignment and providing stable, stereoscopic visual field. Technique was initially introduced by the manufacturers for cholecystectomy, but experienced teams quickly extended the indications to more complex procedures. We hereby present a case of a patient that underwent robotic right colectomy and omentectomy through the single-site(®) platform.

Cholecystectomy using a novel Single-Site(®) robotic platform: early experience from 45 consecutive cases.

Background: The aim of this work was to study the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of single-incision robotic cholecystectomy using a novel platform from Intuitive Surgical.

Methods: All operations were performed by the same surgeon. Parameters assessed included patient history, indication for surgery, operation time, complication rate, conversion rate, robot-related issues, length of hospital stay, postoperative pain, and time to return to work.

Laparoscopic excision of malignant struma ovarii and 1 year follow-up without further treatment.

Objective: To report the case of a patient with malignant struma ovarii, which was excised endoscopically.

Design: Case study and literature review.

Setting: Hospital outpatient clinic with subsequent hospitalization.
