Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Urologic Surgery
  • Laparoscopic Techniques

Background:

  • Single-port laparoscopic surgery offers potential advantages over conventional laparoscopy.
  • The Uni-X Single Port Access Laparoscopic System is a novel multichannel cannula designed for single-port access.
  • Specialized curved instrumentation facilitates complex maneuvers in single-port surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the initial clinical experience with the Uni-X Single Port Access Laparoscopic System.
  • To assess the safety and feasibility of single-port laparoscopic surgery in urologic procedures.
  • To document outcomes for renal and pelvic surgeries performed with this technique.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective data collection for 10 patients undergoing single-port laparoscopic surgery.

Laparoscopic Anterior Right Hepatectomy: A Single-Center Experience

Published on: December 4, 2023

  • Procedures included renal cryotherapy, wedge kidney biopsy, radical nephrectomy, and abdominal sacrocolpopexy.
  • Transperitoneal and retroperitoneoscopic approaches were utilized with the multichannel port.

    • Main Results:

    • All 10 cases were successfully completed without conversion to standard laparoscopy.
    • Mean operative times were 2.5 hours for kidney procedures and 2.5 hours for sacrocolpopexy.
    • Mean blood loss was 100 mL for renal procedures and 90 mL for sacrocolpopexy, with short hospital stays.

    Conclusions:

    • Single-port laparoscopic surgery using the Uni-X system is safe and feasible for various urologic procedures.
    • Techniques evaluated include renal cryotherapy, wedge kidney biopsy, radical nephrectomy, and abdominal sacrocolpopexy.
    • Further research and expanded experience are recommended to solidify its role in urologic surgery.
