Article Abstract
Background: Single-port laparoscopic surgery as an alternative to conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy for benign disease has not yet been accepted as a standard procedure. The aim of the multi-port versus single-port cholecystectomy trial was to compare morbidity rates after single-access (SPC) and standard laparoscopy (MPC).
Methods: This non-inferiority phase 3 trial was conducted at 20 hospital surgical departments in six countries. At each centre, patients were randomly assigned to undergo either SPC or MPC. The primary outcome was overall morbidity within 60 days after surgery. Analysis was by intention to treat. The study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01104727).
Results: The study was conducted between April 2011 and May 2015. A total of 600 patients were randomly assigned to receive either SPC (n = 297) or MPC (n = 303) and were eligible for data analysis. Postsurgical complications within 60 days were recorded in 13 patients (4.7 %) in the SPC group and in 16 (6.1 %) in the MPC group (P = 0.468); however, single-access procedures took longer [70 min (range 25-265) vs. 55 min (range 22-185); P < 0.001]. There were no significant differences in hospital length of stay or pain VAS scores between the two groups. An incisional hernia developed within 1 year in six patients in the SPC group and in three in the MPC group (P = 0.331). Patients were more satisfied with aesthetic results after SPC, whereas surgeons rated the aesthetic results higher after MPC. No difference in quality of life scores, as measured by the gastrointestinal quality of life index at 60 days after surgery, was observed between the two groups.
Conclusions: In selected patients undergoing cholecystectomy for benign gallbladder disease, SPC is non-inferior to MPC in terms of safety but it entails a longer operative time. Possible concerns about a higher risk of incisional hernia following SPC do not appear to be justified. Patient satisfaction with aesthetic results was greater after SPC than after MPC.

Incidence of Incisional Hernias after Single-Port Versus Multi-Port Robotic Radical Prostatectomy.

Article Synopsis
- A study aimed to compare incisional hernia rates between single-port (SP-RARP) and multi-port robotic-assisted radical prostatectomies (MP-RARP) using data from 493 patients over five years.*
- The overall hernia rate was found to be similar between the two techniques (8.1% for SP-RARP vs. 9.2% for MP-RARP), but SP-RARP had quicker operating room times (236 minutes vs. 276 minutes).*
- However, patients undergoing SP-RARP were 3.4 times more likely to develop hernias compared to those with MP-RARP, with higher BMI and previous abdominal surgeries being significant risk factors.*
Systematic review and meta-analysis comparing outcomes of multi-port versus single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) in Hartmann's reversal.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses a study comparing two surgical approaches, conventional multi-port laparoscopy (CL) and single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS), for patients undergoing Hartmann's reversal (HR), primarily after colostomy.
- A thorough online search led to the inclusion of two observational studies with 160 patients, revealing that SILS had a significantly shorter operative duration, while other outcomes like mortality and complications showed no significant differences.
- The conclusion indicates that, despite some limitations in the research, SILS is a quicker method with comparable safety and effectiveness to CL techniques.
Single-port robotic versus single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patients with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Previous studies have compared single-port robotic cholecystectomy (SPRC) to single-incision laparoscopic (SILC). However, there is not a systematic review and meta-analysis in patient with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m even though higher BMI is a risk factor for gallstone disease, a common indication for cholecystectomy. PubMed, Scopus and Cochrane Library were searched for related literature.

Background: Laparoscopic surgery for gastric cancer has become widely used; minimally invasive surgery has become the mainstream of treatment. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) aimed to compare long-term quality of life (QoL) and weight loss rates in patients who underwent single-port laparoscopic gastrectomy (SLG) or multi-port laparoscopic gastrectomy (MLG) for gastric cancer.
Methods: This single-center RCT compared MLG and SLG in patients with clinical stage I gastric cancer, all of which underwent distal gastrectomy between April 2016 and September 2018.
Single-Port Versus Multi-Port Robotic Retroperitoneal Partial Nephrectomy: A Propensity Score-Matched Comparison.

To compare the surgical results of retroperitoneal (RP) robot partial nephrectomy (PNx) using either a single-port robot (SP) or a multi-port robot (MP). We retrospectively reviewed all RP robotic PNx performed at a single institution from September 2021-when the SP robot was introduced to the institution-through April 2023. In total, 125 patients underwent the surgery; 81 patients were treated with surgery using a MP robot whereas 44 patients were treated with surgery using a SP.
