  1. Single-incision Laparoscopic Surgery An initial experience from Tung Wah Hospital Dr. Michael CO Division of Hepatobiliary Surgery Department of Surgery University of Hong Kong Tung Wah Hospital

  2. Introduction • Laparoscopic surgery • Gold standard of treatment of many major abdominal operations • Less morbidity and hasten post-operative recovery • Minimally invasive surgery (MIS)

  3. Ways to minimize surgical trauma • Needlescopic surgery • Reducing the size of the incisions • 2-3mm ports and instruments • Single-incision laparoscopic surgery • Reducing the numbers of incision

  4. Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS) • Acronyms • Single Port Access (SPA) Surgery • Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS) • Laparoscopic Endoscopic Single-port Surgery (LESS) • Embryonic Natural Orifice Transumbilical Endoscopic Surgery (E-NOTES)

  5. Applications • First described in urologic operations Scarless single port transumbilical nephrectomy and pyeloplasty: first clinical report. Desai, Mihir M et. al. BJU International. 101(1):83-88, January 2008 • Then being applied in general surgery • Cholecystectomy • Appendicectomy • Colectomy Single-port laparoscopy in colorectal surgery. Remzi et. al. Colorectal Disease. 10(8):823-826, October 2008. Single port acces (SPA) Surgery – Initial experience of a novel minimal access approach applied across surgical specialties. Surg Endosc 2008; 22: S172.

  6. Instruments Tri-port system • One 10 mm camera port • Two 5 mm instrument ports

  7. Problems • Crowded space for multiple instruments • Lack of triangulation of instruments • Lack of adequate organ retraction • Learning curve for surgeon • Limited evidence of benefits from literature Initial experience with single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Carr AM, Bhavaraju, A Goza, J Wilson R. Am Surg. 2010 Jul;76(7):703-7.

  8. Lack of literature • Only a numbers of case reports / case series Transumbilical single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a case report. Guo Wei et al. CMJ, 2008, Vol 121. No. 23: 2463-2464 Single port laparoscopic cholecystectomy with the TriPort system: a case report Romanelli JR et al. Surg Innov. 2008 Sep;15(3):223-8 Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: Is it more than a challenge? Ersin S et al. Surg Endosc 2010:24:68-71

  9. Started to perform SILS since May 2009 • First operation was laparoscopic cholecystectomy • 44 operations performed (till July 2010) • 31 Female / 13 Male • Mean age 56.7 years old (Range 32-72)

  10. Types of operation

  11. Conversion to conventional laparoscopic surgery • Cholecystectomy group • 1/32 need one extra port (3.1%) • 2/32 need three extra ports (6.2%) • None had conversion to open surgery • Splenectomy group • 1/2 need two extra ports (50%) • None had conversion to open surgery • Overall conversion rate • 4/44 (9%) had extra-ports

  12. Conversion Rate

  13. Operating Time • Cholecystectomy • Mean 120 minutes (Range 33 to 299 minutes) • Marsupialisation of liver cyst • Mean 125 minutes (Range 45 - 180 minutes) • Splenectomy • Mean 129 minutes (Range 60 - 198 minutes) • Wedge resection of small HCC • 135 minutes • Indirect inguinal hernia repair • 60 minutes

  14. Length of stay • Cholecystectomy • 1.6 days (Range 0-6 days) • Liver cyst marsupialisation • 2.3 days (Range 1-3 days) • Splenectomy • 1.5 days (Range 1-2 days) • Wedge resection • 4 days • Hernia repair • 1 day

  15. Mean Blood Loss • Cholecystectomy • 25ml (Range 0-200ml) • Liver cyst marsupialisation • 30ml (Range 0-100ml) • Splenectomy • 35ml (Range 20-50ml) • Wedge resection • 200ml • Hernia repair • Minimal

  16. Post-op complications • Cholecystectomy group • 1 had retained cystic duct stone • Overall complication rate 3.1% (n = 1)

  17. Limitations of our case series • Relatively small sample size • Not a comparative trial • All cases were elective • Only one patient had malignant condition

  18. 1. Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy: A surgeon's initial experience with 56 consecutive cases and a review of the literature Roberts KE, Solomon D, Duffy AJ, Bell RL J Gastrointest Surg. 2010 Mar;14(3)

  19. Conclusion • Single-port surgery • Feasible procedure • Advances in technology will enable us to perform SILS in difficult cases in the future • Need more evidence from literature

  20. SINGLE PORT LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY

  21. SINGLE PORT LAPAROSCOPIC MARSUPIALISATION OF LIVER CYST
