Abstract

Laparoscopic nephrectomy has assumed a central role in the management of kidney diseases. Laparoscopy, inspite of its lessmorbidity than open surgery, still requires several incisions. These incisions carry risks of bleeding, ventral hernia, damage to internalorgans and decreased cosmesis.An alternative to laparoscopy is the single access or keyhole surgery. This keyhole surgery utilizes the new laparoscopy access port(R-Port), single port access (SPA) procedure, one port umbilical surgery (OPUS), the belly button entry, natural orifice transluminalendoscopic surgery, and the magnetic anchoring and guidance system (MAGS) technology.
