Aim: We report our recent experience with the TriPort system (trademark of Advanced Surgical Concepts, Wicklow, Ireland) to perform a laparoscopically assisted hysterectomy via a single periumbilical incision.
Case Report: A 48-year-old multiparous woman was referred to us on March 2009 because of menometrorrhagia and uterine fibroids.
Results: The procedure was performed without intraoperative complications. The weight of the uterus was 360 gr. At the 10 months follow-up the patient did not refer any problem.
Discussion: Although our experience represented a potentially difficult surgery because of the size of the uterus, severe adhesions (two previous caesarean sessions) and the lack of experience with the new system, the procedure demonstrated to be feasible. As for our knowledge the present report represents the first case of single port laparoscopically assisted hysterectomy performed with the TriPort system in Italy.
Conclusion: Single port laparoscopy is feasible and could potentially decrease postoperative pain as well as increase patient satisfaction. Although the early experience with TriPort system is promising, experienced laparoscopic skills are essential for the safe and effective performing of the procedure.

Background: The use of transanal laparoscopic access to completely avoid abdominal wall incisions represents the most current evolution in minimally invasive surgery. The combination of single-site surgery and natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES™) can be used for totally transanal laparoendoscopic pull-through colectomy with J-pouch creation (TLPC-J). The aim of the present study was to provide evidence for the feasibility of TLPC-J in adult human cadavers.

Background: The natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) has become a commonly considered novel approach in the surgical field. The NOTES provide possibility of operation through the natural orifice and decreases the intentional puncture of the systemic organ and subsequent complications. Totally transanal laparo-endoscopic single-site proctoColectomy-Ileoanal J-Pouch (TLPC-J) is a novel method in minimally invasive surgery for total colectomy.

Introduction: At our institution, laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) has been established as a technique for laparoscopic nephrectomy since 2011, and since 2012 in selected cases for adrenalectomy (AE) as well.
Aim: To compare LESS AE with standard laparoscopic AE (SLAE).
Material And Methods: Between 3/2012 and 7/2014, 35 adrenalectomies were performed.

Background: Interplay between the components of a lipoplasty system (suction pump, suction tubing, collection canister, and cannula) determines liposuction efficiency. However, in clinical practice, none of the components are more important than the cannula. Cannula design including port design, port placement, and shaft characteristics is the single most influential contributor to flow resistance and dramatically effects speed of aspiration and final contour.

Background And Objectives: The single-incision approach in laparoscopic surgery is a relatively new concept. This systematic review of the literature was performed to appraise the existing clinical evidence concerning the use of the single-incision technique for spleen resection.
Methods: We performed a systematic search of the PubMed and Scopus databases, and the studies retrieved were included in our review.
