LESS hysterectomy through a bluntly created 11 mm incision
Journal Title: Journal of the Turkish-German Gynecological Association - Year 2021, Vol 22, Issue 1
Abstract
In the field of minimally invasive surgery, there is a constant drive to devise and execute the most minimally invasive surgeries possible. By the very nature of laparoscopy and robotic surgery, what one can accomplish with several ports of a given size will invariably be studied and attempted with fewer ports and with ports of smaller sizes. After researching the literature, we were not able to find any single port hysterectomies performed through a port size of smaller than 15 mm. We were able to perform, described here, a technique for performing laparoscopic hysterectomy through a single port of only 11 mm in diameter. We illustrate the technique in the accompanying video and believe the technique to be safe and reproducible.
