ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Numerous technical and surgical innovations took place in laparoscopic surgery in the recent past. It is debatable whether single-access surgery or natural orifice surgery (NOS) will establish for several standard procedures. Most of the NOS-procedures are controversial and single-access surgery still has to prove its equality in controlled trials. In the intention to reduce the ingress incisons and to facilitate instrumentation, we decided to test the barrier-free AirSeal(®)-trocar in clinical practice. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Laparoscopically we performed a cholecystectomy, gastric wedge-resection and a fundoplication using the barrier-free AirSeal(®) 12-mm-trocar. This trocar works without any mechanical barrier so that via this trocar the use of two instruments is possible.RESULTS:
All three operations were successful.CONCLUSION:
Laparoscopic standard procedures are feasible using this barrier-free trocar without a higher degree of difficulty. Because of the facilitated instrumentation, it is possible to work more efficiently and to maintain the focus on the surgical field.
