Laparo-endoscopic single-site adrenalectomy (LESS-A) is commonly performed using specialized access devices and/or instruments. We report a LESS-A in a 47-year-old woman with a left aldosteranoma via a subcostal approach utilizing conventional laparoscopic ports and instruments. The feasibility and cost-effectiveness of this approach are highlighted and the literature on the subject is reviewed.

Application of spaghetti knotting technology in single-hole laparoscopic suturing instructional program on the basis of multi-directional stitching technology: a randomized controlled trial.
BMC Med Educ
November 2024
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, The Second Affiliated Hospital and Yuying Children's Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, 325000, Zhejiang, China.
Article Synopsis
- Spaghetti knotting technology shows promise in improving LESS surgery by enhancing the operator's visual field and suturing accuracy compared to traditional knotting methods.
- A study involving 40 junior residents found that those trained with spaghetti knotting technology completed tasks faster, used longer threads, and maintained better tissue integrity than those using conventional methods.
- Overall, while the new technique reduced workload and improved performance in specific areas, both training methods had similar outcomes in needle insertion accuracy, knotting stability, and tissue tightness.
Comparison of the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic single-incision triangulated umbilical surgery pyeloplasty with traditional three-hole surgery in a pediatric tertiary center.
Int J Urol
October 2024
Division of Pediatric Urology, Children's Hospital of Fudan University, Shanghai, People's Republic of China.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of a new surgical technique called laparoscopic single-incision triangulated umbilical surgery (SITUS) pyeloplasty in children with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) compared to traditional three-hole laparoscopic pyeloplasty.
- The results showed that SITUS had a shorter median surgical time (135 minutes) than the traditional method (163.5 minutes) and a success rate of 100% versus 94% in the traditional group, although the differences were not statistically significant.
- Overall, SITUS pyeloplasty appears to be a feasible and effective option with better cosmetic outcomes, but further research with more patients and longer follow-ups is needed to fully understand
Evaluation of laparo-endoscopic single-site surgery for adnexal mass in pregnant women.
BMC Pregnancy Childbirth
October 2024
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, The International Peace Maternity and Child Health Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, 200030, China.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the safety and feasibility of Laparo-endoscopic Single-site Surgery (LESS) for treating adnexal masses in 20 pregnant women, focusing on their surgical outcomes and pregnancy complications during the procedure.
- - Results showed successful surgeries, with an average gestational age of 15 weeks at operation, minimal operative time and bleeding, and a short average hospital stay of about 5 days.
- - All but one patient delivered healthy full-term babies, indicating that LESS is a safe option for pregnant women undergoing surgery for adnexal masses.
Learning Curve Analysis of Single-Incision Ovarian Cystectomy: Comparative Study of Robotic and Conventional Laparoscopic Techniques.
J Pers Med
July 2024
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Korea University College of Medicine, 73 Inchon-ro, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul 02841, Republic of Korea.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the learning curves and outcomes of three minimally invasive ovarian cystectomy techniques: DaVinci Robotic Single-Site (RSS), DaVinci Robotic Single-Port (RSP), and laparo-endoscopic single-site surgery (LESS), focusing on their effectiveness in preserving fertility.
- A retrospective analysis of 104 patients with ovarian tumors revealed no significant differences in patient demographics or complications, but differences in average tumor size and operative efficiency across the techniques were noted.
- The RSP technique showed a faster and more consistent learning curve, while LESS had shorter operative times but greater variability, highlighting the importance of these findings for surgical training and medical resource management.
Discharge within 24 h, transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery- more suitable for ambulatory surgery in gynecology procedures: a retrospective study.

Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, School of Medicine, Chengdu Women's and Children's Central Hospital, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, 1617 Riyue Avenue, Chengdu, Sichuan, 610073, China.
Background: Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) is an achievement in the field of minimally invasive surgery. However, the vantage point of vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) in gynecologicalprocedures remains unclear. The main purpose of this study was to compare vNOTES with laparo-endoscopic single-site surgery, and to determine which procedure is more suitable for ambulatory surgery in gynecologic procedures.
