Open Surgery • Laparoscopic Surgery • Less discomfort • Reduced hospitalization • Faster return to routine activities • Cosmesis
SSULS • Cosmesis, but less risky c/w NOTES • NOTES • Cosmesis, but risks Open Surgery Laparoscopic Surgery
Acronyms • SILS(TM) - Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery • SPA (TM) - Single Port Access • SSULS - Single Site Umbilical Laparoscopic Surgery (CMH) • SIPES – Single Incision Pediatric Endosurgery (CH-A) All use umbilicus as single site.
Umbilical Portals (U.S.) Tri - Port (Olympus) SILS Port (Covidien)
Instruments are in-line and parallel to each other What Else Is Different? Ideally, instruments/telescope should be different lengths
What Else Is Different? Assistant/camera holder stands next to or behind the surgeon
What Else Is Different? Harder to operate

Conclusion These series show that single site surgery is feasible, and appears to be associated with acceptable operating times
Conclusion Disadvantages • Compromised degrees of freedom and triangulation • Visualization limited by inline field of view and motion of instruments • More difficult for the surgeon
Questions • Do the benefits outweigh the risks? • What are the benefits? • Is there improved cosmesis? • Prospective evidence needed • We are enrolling in 3 SSULS PRT’s • Appendectomy, Cholecystectomy, Splenectomy • Validated scar assessment tool
