This study shows that using reusable microinstruments with a modified three-port technique for laparoscopic pelvic procedures is safe and cost-effective. The method resulted in excellent cosmetic outcomes with minimal complications and pain medication needs.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Technology
  • Pelvic Surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic surgery is a common approach for appendectomy and pelvic procedures.
  • The use of specialized instruments can enhance surgical outcomes.
  • Cost-effectiveness and patient recovery are key considerations in surgical technique development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a modified three-port laparoscopic technique utilizing reusable microinstruments.
  • To evaluate the safety, efficacy, and patient outcomes of this technique for pelvic procedures.
  • To assess the cost-effectiveness of using microinstruments in laparoscopic surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A modified three-port laparoscopic technique was employed.
  • Reusable microinstruments were utilized for pelvic procedures, including appendectomy.

  • Fifty-seven consecutive patients underwent surgery using this method.

    • Main Results:

    • No mortality was observed in the patient cohort.
    • Two minor complications occurred, with no conversions to open laparotomy.
    • Patients reported minimal need for pain medication and excellent cosmetic results.

    Conclusions:

    • The described modifications to the three-port laparoscopic technique using microinstruments are safe for pelvic procedures.
    • This approach is cost-effective and leads to favorable patient outcomes, including minimal pain and excellent cosmesis.
    • Reusable microinstruments offer a viable and beneficial option for laparoscopic pelvic surgery.
