Bilateral Salpingo-Oophorectomy with Modified “Glove” Port

Abstract

Although single incision surgery is a new and evolving technique, there are already an abundance of novel port site devices available. We present a case of risk reduction single port prophylactic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in a 64 year-old woman using a simple and inexpensive single port device. An Alexis wound retractor and standard surgical glove are used to create the port, along with several disposable trocar housings that are placed in the fingers of the glove and secured with steri-strips.
