Abstract
AbstractThis review summarizes the published data regarding single port surgery (SPS) in order to evaluate the current status of SPS. SPS is a rapidly evolving technique in minimally invasive surgery. A wide variety of SPS have been performed since 1992, including appendectomy, cholecystectomy, colectomy, inguinal hernia repair, liver cyst fenestration, and bariatric surgery, and the technical feasibility has been demonstrated. Further advancements in technology and technique may allow the broad acceptance of this new method. Prospective randomized trials comparing SPS to laparoscopic surgery are essential to further determine the advantages and disadvantages of SPS.
