Abstract

In reduced port laparoscopic surgery (RPLS), insertion of the scope and instruments through the same port can cause interference. It is, thus, important to select theories and instruments that will minimize this interference. This chapter describes the scopes and devices that are currently available for use in RPLS (the development of a variety of new devices is also anticipated). Without a full understanding of these devices, surgeons in the field will be unable to perform RPLS safely and effectively. Sufficient preclinical training is strongly recommended before any of these devices are used clinically.
