Abstract
The aim of laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) is to reduce the morbidity and scarring associated with regular laparoscopic procedures. Over the past 4 years, a number of urological LESS procedures have been shown to be feasible, and have been taken up by surgeons worldwide. According to current recommendations, suitable candidates for these procedures are generally thinner, with limited previous abdominal surgery. However, detailed, specific analyses of the complication rates of these techniques—and the most important risk factors associated with these complications—has not yet been performed. Greco et al. retrospectively evaluated the morbidity outcomes and risk factors associated with complications in 192 patients who underwent LESS for upper urinary tract disease.
