Hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery enhances tactile feedback and control during procedures. While not universally required, it offers advantages for specific complex surgeries and patient recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Laparoscopic surgery can result in a loss of tactile feedback compared to open procedures.
  • Hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS) aims to restore tactile sensation and improve surgical control.
  • Postoperative discomfort is comparable between traditional laparoscopic and HALS procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current literature and available devices for hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery.
  • To synthesize expert opinions on the utility of hand-assisted laparoscopic techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery.
  • Analysis of hand-assisted laparoscopic devices on the market.
  • Inclusion of expert surgeon opinions on HALS.

Main Results:

  • Over 100 hand-assisted laparoscopic procedures have been documented.
  • Multiple companies offer hand-assisted laparoscopic devices, with several FDA-approved options.
  • Expert surgeons report benefits in specific surgical scenarios.

Conclusions:

  • Hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery is not essential for all laparoscopic procedures.
  • HALS is beneficial for en bloc resections, solid organ tumor removal, and donor nephrectomy.
  • The technique is advantageous when larger incisions are needed, such as for open colon anastomosis.
