Objective:
We present our initial experience with single-port access (SPA) surgery using a novel laparoscopic port (Octo-Port).
Materials, Methods, And Results:
In a prospective study, SPA surgery was carried out on 11 patients with the Octo-Port from July 2009 to December 2009 by a single surgeon (T.-J. K.). The procedures carried out were hysterectomy (seven patients), ovarian cystectomy (two patients) and salpingo-oophorectomy (two patients). In 10 cases the procedure was successfully performed without the use of additional ports. In one case the SPA procedure failed and ancillary ports were required; this patient had anatomical variations that made use of the SPA technique difficult. All procedures were performed without complications. There were no perioperative port-related or surgical problems. The Octo-Port had certain advantages such as reducing the need for long laparoscopic instruments, reducing extracorporeal instrumental crowding, and providing better deflection of smoke compared to other SPA devices that used a wound retractor and a glove.
Conclusion:
Our study demonstrated that the Octo-Port allows laparoscopic surgery to be performed safely and easily with a reduced number of ports.
