Introduction: Two-port mini laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has been proposed as a safe and feasible technique. However, there are limited studies to evaluate the effectiveness of the procedure. This study is a prospective randomised trial to compare the standard four-port LC with two-port mini LC.
Materials And Methods: A total of 116 consecutive patients undergoing LC were randomised to four-port/two-port mini LC. In two-port mini LC, a 10-mm umbilical and a 5-mm epigastric port were used. Outcomes measured were duration and difficulty of operation, post-operative pain, analgesia requirements, post-operative stay, complications and cosmetic score at 30 days.
Results: Out of 116 patients, the ratio of M:F was 11:92, with mean age 40.79 ± 12.6 years. Twelve patients (nine in four-port group and three in two-port group) were lost to follow-up. The mean operative time were similar (P = 0.727). Post-operative pain was significantly low in the two-port group at up to 24 hrs (P = 0.023). The overall analgesia requirements (P = 0.003) and return to daily activity (P = 0.00) were significantly lower in two-port group. The cosmesis score of the two-port group was better than four-port group (P = 0.00). However, the length of hospital stay (P = 0.760) and complications (P = 0.247) were similar between the two groups.
Conclusion: Two-port mini LC resulted in reduced pain, need for analgesia, and improved cosmesis without increasing the operative time and complication rates compared to that in four-port LC. Thus, it can be recommended in selected patients.

To evaluate the safety and feasibility of a novel surgical technique ("non-triangle plane" technique) of two-port (mini-utility) video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) atypical segmentectomy (S+Sc) with tunneling stapler for small-sized non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) located in left S close to the intersegmental plane between S and Sc. This retrospective descriptive study included 16 patients who, between April 2016 and December 2019, underwent a single two-port (mini-utility) VATS atypical segmentectomy (S+Sc) with tunneling stapler technique for small-sized NSCLCs with a ground-glass opacity (GGO) rate of more than 50% by a constant surgical team in two hospitals. Perioperative data and survival data were collected and retrospectively analyzed.

Purpose: As with other areas, there have been many efforts for minimally invasive surgery in varicocelectomy. We present our initial experience with laparoscopic varicocelectomy with a two-port scarless periumbilical mini-incision.
Materials And Methods: The study enrolled 18 patients who underwent laparoscopic varicocelectomy with a twoportscarless periumbilical mini-incision from February 2012 to April 2013.

Background: Thoracoscopic surgery has become very popular in recent years. Conventional thoracoscopic surgery requires three or more port wounds for manipulations of endoscopic instruments. For complicated cancer surgery, more port wounds and a larger thoracotomy wound may be required due to technical reasons.

Objective: To report our initial experience with isobaric (gasless) two-port laparoscopic-assisted myomectomy (LAM) in 40 patients with symptomatic myoma at a single center.
Study Design: In each case, wound retractors were used as working ports through umbilical and suprapubic mini-incisions. The surgical view was secured with the subcutaneous abdominal wall-lift method.
