RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficiency (micturition symptoms, continence, erection) and safety of Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) with a single composite score (the Hexafecta score) one year postprocedure. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We conducted a single-center retrospective study including all patients who had undergone HoLEP for the treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) between May 2013 and August 2017. Data were obtained preoperatively and at the 6- and 12-month visits. We also reported all 90-day complications. The Hexafecta score included 6 criteria: peak urine flow of at least 15ml/s, 30% reduction in International Prostate Symptoms Score (IPSS) score, quality of life via the IPSS less than 2, no incontinence (International Consultation Incontinence Questionnaire), no significant change in erectile function (International Index of Erectile Function), and no grade III or more complications according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. RESULTS: Two hundred thirty-five patients were included, of whom 197 (83.8%) completed the 12-month visit. Complete data were available to assess the Hexafecta score for 178 of them (75.7%). Most of the missing data were for uroflowmetry and the erectile function assessment. Hundred three patients (58%) met all 6 criteria, while 45 (25%) met 5 of them. None were retreated for BPH in the follow-up period. The de novo incontinence rate was 4.1%. CONCLUSION: The Hexafecta score is a simple, transversal method for comprehensively evaluating functional outcomes after HoLEP surgery. Such an evaluation could be used to compare other types of procedures for BPH treatment. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3.

INTRODUCTION: No studies of French hospital registries for prostate cancer (PCa) have been published since the 2012 USPSTF recommendations. MATERIAL: This is a multicenter cohort study based on hospital data of prostate biopsies (PB) in 3 health centers between 2001 and 2016. The main objective is to describe the evolution of incident cases of PCa. The secondary objectives are to describe the number of cases per stage of PCa and the distribution of the first treatments. RESULTS: In total, 11,491 PB series diagnosed 5927 cases of PCa. The median age was 67 [61-73] years and the median PSA was 7.8 [5.5-13] ng/mL. The number of cases increased until 2006 before decreasing from 2006 to 2013 and then stabilizing from 2013 to 2016. The proportion of incident cases was: (1) for the stable metastatic stage around 8 [7-10]%, (2) for cases with PSA<10 ng/mL increasing from 46% to 75% in 2010 down to 64% in 2016, (3) for the grade 1 group decreasing from 59% to 33 % between 2011 and 2016. The proportion of active surveillance treatment for low-risk cancers increased from 5 to 60% and surgery decreased from 73 to 33%. CONCLUSION: The evolution of the incident cases showed a decrease from 2006 to 2013 and a stability until 2016. The number of cases with PSA<10 ng/mL decreased since 2010 and the proportion of the options of treatment by surveillance increased strongly to the detriment of the surgery for low risks.

OBJECTIVE: To analyse the functional and oncologic outcomes at one year of focal therapy with HIFU compared with total prostatectomy in patients with localised prostate cancer (PCa). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Retrospective and monocentric study from 2008 to 2014 comparing 2 cohorts of patients with localised PCa (T1/T2 clinical stage, Gleason score≤3+4=7 and PSA<15ng/mL), one treated by focal therapy (HIFU-F group), one by robot-assisted total prostatectomy (RATP group). Primary outcome was a trifecta defined as: absence of urinary incontinence, erectile function with sexual relations without treatment, negative PSA with negative surgical margins (RATP group) or negative biopsy cores (HIFU-F group). RESULTS: The 53 patients included in the "HIFU-F" group and the 66 patients in the "RATP" group were similar in terms of preoperative PSA, D'Amico risk group, erectile function but were different in terms of age, prostatic volume, length of cancer, Gleason score. Complication rate was not different. In multivariate analyse with propensity score, "HIFU-F" group achieved a better trifecta score than "RATP" group (OR=8,3, p=0,005). CONCLUSION: In case of low or intermediate risk localised PCa, "HIFU-F" group had better functional outcomes than initial learning curse "RATP" group, at one year. A long-term evaluation by a common endpoint is necessary to judge the oncological equivalence of both techniques. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3.

PURPOSE: To reach standardized terminology in focal therapy (FT) for prostate cancer (PCa). METHODS: A four-stage modified Delphi consensus project was undertaken among a panel of international experts in the field of FT for PCa. Data on terminology in FT was collected from the panel by three rounds of online questionnaires. During a face-to-face meeting on June 21, 2015, attended by 38 experts, all data from the online rounds were reviewed and recommendations for definitions were formulated. RESULTS: Consensus was attained on 23 of 27 topics; Targeted FT was defined as a lesion-based treatment strategy, treating all identified significant cancer foci; FT was generically defined as an anatomy-based (zonal) treatment strategy. Treatment failure due to the ablative energy inadequately destroying treated tissue is defined as ablation failure. In targeting failure the energy is not adequately applied to the tumor spatially and selection failure occurs when a patient was wrongfully selected for FT. No definition of biochemical recurrence can be recommended based on the current data. Important definitions for outcome measures are potency (minimum IIEF-5 score of 21), incontinence (new need for pads or leakage) and deterioration in urinary function (increase in IPSS >5 points). No agreement on the best quality of life tool was established, but UCLA-EPIC and EORTC-QLQ-30 were most commonly supported by the experts. A complete overview of statements is presented in the text. CONCLUSION: Focal therapy is an emerging field of PCa therapeutics. Standardization of definitions helps to create comparable research results and facilitate clear communication in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate oncologic and functional outcomes after percutaneous cryoablation (PCA) for renal masses based on our single center experience. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively identified 26 patients who underwent PCA for 28 tumors between November 2006 and June 2011. Patient's demographics and baseline clinical characteristics, tumor features, perioperative information, and postoperative outcomes we rerecorded. A biopsy was performed systematically before each procedure. Control imaging was obtained at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months, and yearly thereafter. Oncological outcomes were determined by radiographic evidence of tumor recurrence, which was defined by contrast enhancement at the cryoablation site on control imaging at M3. RESULTS: Patients had mean age of 70.1 years, mean Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) and body mass index) were 6 and 29 kg/m(2) respectively. There were 11 kidney transplants, including 4 solitary. Mean tumor size was 29.5mm and was represented mainly by clear cell renal cell carcinomas (16/28), endophytic (17/28) and midkidney (14/28) (±9.8). Twenty-five cryoablations were performed percutaneously by two lumbotomy. Mean clearance preoperative MDRD was 66,1 mL/min. Mean length of stay was 3.3 days (±2.2). Intraoperative complications consisted of 2 pneumothorax and 6 minor complications postoperative (Clavien≤2). There were no major complications. Mean follow-up was 27.5 months (±15.7), MDRD clearance distance was 61.9 mL/min. Overall survival and disease-specific survival was 100%, while the recurrence-free survival was 78.6% (5 recurrences and 1 failure treatment). CONCLUSION: The percutaneous cryoablation provides a safe and oncologically to extirpative surgery for renal masses in patients with significant medical comorbidities. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 5.

PURPOSE: To evaluate functional outcomes and patients' health-related quality of life over ten years after a W-shaped ileal neobladder urinary diversion. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From 1994 to 2004, 87 patients with bladder cancer underwent a cystoprostatectomy with a W-shaped ileal neobladder. Among them, 31 patients (35.6%) were evaluated. The average follow-up was 158months, average age was 72years. We assessed functional outcomes (use of protections, USP score, uroflowmetry, postvoid residual volume), overall health-related quality of life (SF-36 score), and specific urinary-related quality of life (Ditrovie scale). RESULTS: Daytime continence was satisfactory in 29 patients (96.8%). Night-time continence was satisfactory in 27 patients (87.1%). Mean daytime continence, hyperactivity and dysuria scores of the USP were respectively 1.5/9, 3.2/21 and 2/9. Mean value of the maximum flow rate was 18mL/s for an average voiding volume of 324mL and an average postvoid residual volume of 70mL. The 8 dimensions of the SF-36 were all comparable with the French population's values. According to the Ditrovie scale whose average value was 1.83, the health-related quality of life was unchanged or little changed by urinary disorders in 28 patients (90.3%). CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that voiding status and health-related quality of life remain satisfactory over ten years after an orthotopic ileal neobladder derivation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 5.

OBJECTIVES: The main objective is the study of the evolution of the number of incident cases of prostate cancer in France from 2001 to 2012 from 5 hospital centers of urology. The secondary objective is to describe the characteristics of the incident cases and to compare them to those of the patients of the national registers of cancer for the period. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Prospective observational multicentric study from 01/01/2001 to 31/12/2012 of databases in 5 French, public and private hospital centers of urology. The inclusive centers were selected outside departments with cancer register. The collected data were the prostatic biopsies performed in every center and the number of positive biopsies. The biopsies in cases of already known cancer and in re-evaluation were excluded. The data of age and stage (PSA and Gleason grade) were collected. The estimation of the incidence standardized in France is established after a period of observation of 3 years. The data updated in 2009 show a peak of incidence in 2005 then a decrease from 2006 (64,518 cases) until 2009 (53,465 cases). The median age in the diagnosis was of 70 years in 2005. RESULTS: Overall, 18,392 prostatic biopsies were included in the analysis. The average rate of positive biopsies was stable over the period 51.41% (IQR 0,02). The total number of cases of positive biopsies increased from 2001 to 2007 (482 cases in 1028 cases) in 2007, then decreased from 2008 to 2012 (649 cases). There was no difference in this variation between the centers. The median age in the diagnosis was of 70 years (EIQ=1.5) in 2001 and 68 years (EIQ=2.75) in 2012. PSA at diagnosis was<10ng/mL in 65% of cases and 10 to 20ng/mL in 22% of cases in 2012. The population of patients of the study differed significantly from that of FRANCIM on the distribution by age ranges (year 2005, P<0.0001 and year 2009, P<0.001), which explains the gap of one year (on 2007 instead of 2006) of the peak of incidental cases. CONCLUSION: The evolution of the number of incidental cases of prostate cancer in France from 2001 to 2012 from hospital data of 5 centers are similar to those of the network of registers representative of the French population. This observed evolution represents data available for cancer registers to estimate incidence variation between 2 publications. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4.

AIM: To assess multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI) in predicting prostate biopsy results. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients who underwent mp-MRI prior to prostate biopsy were prospectively included. The prostate was subdivided into 14 sectors and mp-MRI findings assessed using a five-level subjective suspicion score (SSS). Biopsy included targeted samples of abnormal sectors and systematic samples of normal peripheral zone sectors. RESULTS: Two hundred and eighty-eight patients were included [153 biopsy naïve, 135 with negative (n = 51) or positive (n = 84) prior biopsy]. Biopsy was positive in 168 patients. mp-MRI area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) was 69.1% (95% CI: 67.1-70.9%), 72.5% (95% CI: 69.5-76%), and 73.8% (95% CI: 68.3-79.3%) at per sector, per lobe, and per patient analysis, respectively. At the per sector level, the AUC was significantly larger if detection was limited to cancers with a Gleason score of ≥7 (72.6%; 95% CI: 69.8-75.8%; p < 0.01) or ≥8 (87.1%; 95% CI: 78.3-95.7%; p < 0.01). mp-MRI performance was significantly influenced by prostate volume (p = 0.02), the presence of a concordant hypoechoic area (p < 0.001), but not by prostate-specific antigen (PSA) value, status of prior biopsy, or radiologists' experience. SSS was significantly associated with the Gleason score in true-positive lobes and patients (p < 0.0001). Using a SSS threshold of ≥3, cancer was missed in 13/102 lobes and 4/72 patients with cancers of Gleason score ≥7. CONCLUSION: mp-MRI provides a good detection of cancers with a Gleason score of ≥7 in candidates suitable for prostate biopsy.

OBJECTIVE: To report our experience for the management of urethro-rectal fistula by the York Mason technique. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the data of patients treated surgically for FUR by the technique of York Mason, between 2000 and 2012. RESULTS: Seventeen patients were included in the study. All patients had a bowel diversion before surgery. We observed four recurrences of FUR (23.5%). Recurrences occurred in a radiation field for two patients and in a oncologic recurrence for 1 patient. The fourth recurrence was treated by a second procedure of York Mason successfully. CONCLUSION: In our study, the York Mason technique was safe and reproducible for the treatment of FUR. The main factor of failure was a history of pelvic radiotherapy.

INTRODUCTION: Docetaxel has been the cornerstone in the treatment of castration- resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) since 2004. The recent and almost simultaneous arrival of new and effective molecules - several of which are already available on the market - has added to the CRPC treatment arsenal. Several studies have explored the optimal order in which these new treatments should be administered. The aim of this review was to present their respective predictive and evaluative factors and suggest potential administration sequences. METHODS: The PubMed medical literature citations database was searched using the following key words: prostate cancer, castration resistant, metastatic, targeted therapy, treatment sequence, immunotherapy and clinical trials. The reports of the most recent European and North American congresses were also included. RESULTS: While no predictive factors have been clearly identified for these new therapies to date, a Gleason score of not less than 8 and one or more chemotherapy sessions seemed to be predictive of lower efficacy for abiraterone. Promising elements for further investigation include the circulating tumour cell count and variation in this count per treatment, ERG mutation status or the intratumoural androgen status. Substitution criteria have not yet been reported but, as is the case with all hormone therapies, changes in PSA levels emerge as a valuable indicator of the efficacy of abiraterone. The best treatment sequence for patients who develop castration-resistance remains to be defined. CONCLUSION: Although new molecules have recently become available, the experience with their use is limited. Thus, no predictive markers of response rates and treatment outcomes or data concerning the best treatment sequence to use in patients with CRPC are as yet available.

INTRODUCTION: Abiraterone acetate has increased the overall survival of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. However, despite an initial response to treatment, many patients develop resistance to the drug. In this paper we present different hypotheses that may explain the emergence of resistance. METHOD: This review was conducted from the PubMed database. The most relevant articles were selected and analyzed. RESULTS: The molecular mechanisms of resistance to abiraterone acetate remain largely elusive. We detailed some of them including the reactivation of the androgen receptor through alternative biosynthesis of androgens, over expression or mutation of the androgen receptor gene, or the action of co-activators. The over expression of CYP17A1 or the alteration of other genes' expression involved in steroidogenesis could also contribute to the resistance. CONCLUSION: Some of the molecular mechanisms involved in the resistance to abiraterone acetate were detailed. Better understanding of these mechanisms is a key step to allow the emergence of new therapeutic options and personalized treatments of castration resistant prostate cancer.

PURPOSE: Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is the most common method of treatment for kidney stones. Both fluoroscopy and ultrasound imaging can be used to locate stones, but fluoroscopy is more frequently employed. Evaluation of a new stereotaxic navigational system: the stone was located using an ultrasound probe, and its 3D location was saved. The table automatically moved to position the stone at the focal point. A real-time follow-up was possible during treatment. Our objective was to demonstrate a decrease in the use of fluoroscopy to locate kidney stones for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy through the use of a 3D ultrasound stone locking system. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Prospective analysis of the case records of the 20 patients preceding and the 20 patients succeeding the arrival of the ultrasound stone locking system Visio-Track (EDAP-TMS). We used a Student test to compare age, BMI, kidney stone size, number of shock waves and administered energy. RESULTS: Patient characteristics were comparable. The average age was 55 years old and the average kidney stone size was 10.7 mm. Radiation duration was 174.8 seconds in the group without Visio-Track versus 57.1 seconds in the group with it (P<0.0001). A similar result was observed for radiation doses: 5197.25 mGy x cm2 for the group without versus 1987.6 mGy x cm2 for the group with Visio-Track (P=0.0033). CONCLUSION: The stone locking system Visio-Track reduced fluoroscopy in our first group of patients, which decreased the patient's individual absorbed irradiation dose.

BACKGROUND: Owing to the scarcity of upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UUT-UC) it is often necessary for investigators to pool data. A patient-specific survival nomogram based on such data is needed to predict cancer-specific survival (CSS) post nephroureterectomy (NU). Herein, we propose and validate a nomogram to predict CSS post NU. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Twenty-one French institutions contributed data on 1120 patients treated with NU for UUT-UC. A total of 667 had full data for nomogram development. Study population was divided into the nomogram development cohort (397) and external validation cohort (270). Cox proportional hazards regression models were used for univariate and multivariate analyses and to build a nomogram. A reduced model selection was performed using a backward step-down selection process, and Harrell's concordance index (c-index) was used for quantifying the nomogram accuracy. Internal validation was performed by bootstrapping and the reduced nomogram model was calibrated. RESULTS: Of the 397 patients in the nomogram development cohort, 91 (22.9%) died during follow-up, of which 66 (72.5%) died as a consequence of UUT-UC. The actuarial CSS probability at 5 years was 0.76 (95% CI, 71.62-80.94). On multivariate analysis, T stage (P<0.0001), N status (P=0.014), grade (P=0.026), age (P=0.005) and location (P=0.022) were associated with CSS. The reduced nomogram model had an accuracy of 0.78. We propose a nomogram to predict 3 and 5-year CSS post NU for UUT-UC. CONCLUSION: We have devised and validated an accurate nomogram (78%), superior to any single clinical variable or current model, for predicting 5-year CSS post NU for UUT-UC.

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the presence of a previously implanted suburethral sling for post-prostatic surgery incontinence influences the outcomes of subsequent AUS implantation. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective study comparing 15 patients who underwent AUS placement after suburethral sling failure between November 2004 and December 2009 to 15 patients who underwent AUS placement as first-line treatment during the same period. Demographic characteristics, preoperative assessment of urinary incontinence and technique of implantation of the AUS were similar in the both arms. A USP(®) continence questionnaire was sent to patients by mail. Success was defined as a subjective improvement of the incontinence in patients using less than one pad per day. RESULTS: No perioperative incidents were noted in either arm. Mean operative time, the size of implanted cuffs, duration of catheterisation, length of hospital stay and postoperative complication rate, as well as the rate of surgical revision, were similar in both arms. The follow-up was slightly lower in the first arm (21 vs. 28.8 months, P=0.83). Stress incontinence and bladder overactivity scores of the USP(®) questionnaire, as well as success rates (73.3 vs. 80%, P=0.67), were equivalent in both arms. CONCLUSION: The results associated with the AUS procedure were not significantly different between men who had a suburethral male sling implanted before and those who had the AUS implanted as a first-line treatment.

PURPOSE: In the latest guidelines of the European Association of Urology, partial nephrectomy was a reference standard in tumors less than 7cm confined to the kidney. The invasion of the perirenal fat and therefore dissection in a potentially tumor tissue with an increased risk of recurrence. MATERIAL: From 1995 to 2009, we retrospectively evaluated the oncological outcomes of partial versus radical nephrectomy in tumors with local extension beyond the boundaries of the kidney, without adrenal involvement or metastatic lymph node extension. We evaluated the histological factors influencing the prognostic. RESULTS: A total of 43patients have been included (ten partial and 33radical nephrectomy). We did not found any significant difference in terms of specific and recurrence-free survival between partial and radical nephrectomy in tumor invading the perirenal fat (P=0.739 and P=0.683 respectively). Factors influencing the prognosis were the Fuhrman grade (P=0.010), the invasion of the urinary tract (P=0.017) and the presence of a positive surgical margin (P=0.041). The renal function was better after partial nephrectomy. The complication rate was similar between partial and radical nephrectomy. CONCLUSION: The perirenal fat invasion by kidney tumor did not impact the oncological outcomes of partial versus radical nephrectomy with better functional outcomes for partial nephrectomy.

OBJECTIVES: To report the functional and oncological outcomes of HIFU for prostate cancer in patients with a history of severe colorectal disease. METHODS: Between 2002 and 2009, 14 patients with a history of severe colorectal disease (cancer, lymphoma, inflammatory bowel diseases [IBD]) were treated with HIFU as a primary care option for localized prostate cancer. RESULTS: Mean age was 65.8 ± 6.1 years. Mean time between colorectal disease treatment and HIFU was 10.6 ± 6.8 years. The mean Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) before HIFU was 12.1 ng/mL (4.5-55). Gleason score was inferior or equal to 6 in four patients (28.6%), equal to 7 in nine patients (64.3%) and superior or equal to 8 in one patient (7.1%). The mean prostate volume before HIFU was 22.1 ± 11.7 mL. The number of HIFU sessions per patient was 1.35. The mean nadir PSA was 0.61 ± 0.82 ng/mL. Systematic control biopsies were negative in seven patients (50%). Mean follow-up was 22 months with a 35.7% complication rate (three erectile dysfunctions, two urinary stress incontinences). No recto-urethral fistula occurred. CONCLUSION: HIFU was an interesting therapy for patients with a history of colorectal disease for whom regular treatment was challenging or non feasible.

METHODS: Between January 2005 and June 2009, all patients treated with HIFU as a primary care option for localized prostate cancer and fulfilling the French Urological Association (AFU) guideline were included in this study. Validated questionnaires were used to assess continence, potencies and quality of life. RESULTS: A total of 297 patients met the inclusion criteria: 149 were low risk and 148 were intermediate risk according to d'Amico's risk group. The median prostate specific antigen (PSA) nadir was 0.12ng/ml with 65% of patients reaching a nadir less than 0.3 ng/ml. Systematic control biopsies were performed on 175 patients with 89% of negative biopsies. The disease free survival rate at 40 months was 79% for low risk group and 62% for intermediate risk group. The pre and post-HIFU treatment International Prostate Symptoms Score (IPSS) score and quality of life questionnaire were not statistically different. In the opposite, the pre and post-HIFU erection function and continence status were significantly different. CONCLUSION: Local control and Biochemical Free Survival Rate achieved with HIFU were similar to those expected with conformal external radiation beam therapy. Among the functional outcomes, potency was the most impacted by the treatment.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to assess the predictors of metastasis-free survival (MFS) and of the volume of the local recurrence in patients with rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) serum level after radiotherapy for prostate cancer and referred for prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and biopsy in view of salvage treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 132 consecutive men (median age, 70 years; IQR, 66-77 years) with rising PSA after prostate radiotherapy who underwent prostate MRI and biopsy in view of salvage treatment between January 2010 and July 2017 were retrospectively evaluated at a single center. MFS predictors were assessed with Cox models. Predictors of the volume of the local recurrence (number of invaded prostate sectors at biopsy) were assessed using Poisson regression among variables available at PSA relapse. RESULTS: At multivariate analysis, an initial Gleason score≥8 (OR=7 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.2-40]; P=0.03), a recent radiotherapy (OR=17 [95% CI: 3.9-72]; P<0.0001), the use of androgen deprivation therapy at PSA relapse (OR=12.5 [95% CI: 2.8-57]; P=0.001) and the number of invaded prostate sectors (OR=1.5 [95% CI: 1.1-2]; P=0.007) and maximum cancer core length (OR=0.7 [95%CI: 0.6-0.9]; P=0.002) at biopsy performed at PSA relapse were significant MFS predictors. The PSA level at relapse was significant independent predictor of the volume of local recurrence only when used as a continuous variable (P=0.0002) but not when dichotomized using the nadir+2 threshold (P=0.41). CONCLUSION: Pathological and clinical factors can help predict MFS in patients with rising PSA after prostate radiotherapy and candidates to salvage treatment. The PSA level at relapse has strong influence on the local recurrence volume when used as a continuous variable.

UNLABELLED: Single-port transumbilical laparoscopy has emerged as an attempt to further enhance cosmetic benefits and reduce morbidity of minimally invasive surgery. Within a short span, several clinical reports have emerged in the urologic literature. As this field is poised to move forward, a complete understanding of its evolution and current status seems imperative. We have summarized and reviewed the history of Single-Port across surgical disciplines. This review emphasizes nomenclature, surgical technique, instrumentation, and perioperative outcomes. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: Using the National Library of Medicine database, the English language literature was reviewed for the past 40 years. Keyword searches included scarless, scar free, single-port/trocar/incision, laparoendoscopic single site surgery intraumbilical, and transumbilical. Within the bibliography of selected references, additional sources were retrieved. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: The major findings and surgical techniques described in these papers, are summarized in a chronological and subject-grouped manner. CONCLUSIONS: Single-port has made its initial forays into laparoscopic surgery. Ongoing refinement in technique and instrumentation is likely to expand its future role.
