Clinical application and research progress of single-hole laparoscopy / 西安交通大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

The minimally invasive surgery is the mainstream of the development of surgery, and the transformation of surgery from traditional open surgery to endoscopic surgery has brought great benefits to patients. However, surgeons have never stopped their exploration from porous laparoscopy to single hole or even endoscopic surgery via the natural cavity, and looking for a more minimally invasive way of surgery has always been the pursuit of clinicians. As a minimally invasive technique, single-hole laparoscopy is becoming more and more widely used in clinic, and achievements and difficulties will guide the development direction of further research in the future. This paper reviews the clinical application of single-hole laparoscopy in recent years and the status quo of its development.
