Single-Access Laparoscopic Surgery

Abstract

Twenty-five years ago, the introduction of laparoscopy revolutionized surgery, the main reason for its widespread diffusion being the following patient’s benefits: less postoperative pain, faster recovery, better cosmetics, and quicker return to full activities, all resulting in the improvement of postoperative quality of life.

Actually, the aforementioned benefits have never been demonstrated in randomized controlled trial for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Despite this lack of evidence, laparoscopic cholecystectomy has been accepted and is nowadays considered as the gold standard treatment of gallstones.

Also, some of the advantages of laparoscopy are ascribable to reduced abdominal wall trauma, which led both to reduced incidence of surgical site infections and, in the long term, to reduced occurrence of incisional hernia.
