AI Article Synopsis
- Laparoendoscopic single site surgery (LESS) combines surgical techniques to perform laparoscopic procedures through a single incision, making it less invasive than traditional multiport laparoscopy.
- This method has gained traction in gynecology, particularly for total hysterectomy, due to its potential benefits.
- The literature review covers the indications, techniques, challenges, and advancements in single site hysterectomy, including the use of robotic assistance.
Article Abstract
Laparoendoscopic single site surgery (LESS) refers to a spectrum of surgical techniques that allow the performance of laparoscopic surgery through consolidation of all ports into one surgical incision. LESS has emerged as a potentially less invasive alternative to multiport laparoscopy and in the last year in gynecology; hence, this approach has been largely applied for selective indications to perform total hysterectomy. We performed a literature review on single site hysterectomy and described indications and technique, highlighting practical problems, pointers, limitations and recent technical development as robotic assistance.
