Abstract

Over the last 20–30 years, the urology operating suite has undergone significant changes with the incorporation of new technologies, instruments, and innovative techniques aiming to decrease the invasiveness of surgical procedures. After the pioneering work of Clayman et al. in early 1990s, laparoscopic surgery spread quickly in the urological field. Since the early 2000s, robot-assisted surgery has also been increasingly adopted and even replaced standard laparoscopy in some instances. Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) was developed with the goal to reproduce the same operative steps of laparoscopic surgery through a single incision, maximizing the cosmetic results and potentially causing less pain. More than 1,000 LESS urological procedures have been reported worldwide, encompassing almost the whole spectrum of urological surgery. With appropriate case selection, the safety of this approach appears to be similar to standard laparoscopy.
