Abstract
As surgery continues to evolve, the desire to further minimize the invasiveness remains at the forefront of innovation. While the adoption of laparoscopy and subsequently, robotics in urology, resulted in a dramatic improvement in the morbidity of many urological procedures; talented surgeons have pushed the envelope even further with the development of laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) surgery. Defined by the Laparoendoscopic Single Site Surgery Consortium for Assessment and Research (LESSCAR) in 2010 as any endoscopic/laparoscopic/robotic procedure using a single entry point [1], hundreds of publications detailing urologic procedures have appeared in the literature.
