Single port laparoscopic surgery is changing the standard of care in surgical care like nothing since the laparoscopic technique was introduced 20 years ago. We present out technique of single port donor nephrectomy using the Gelpoint device. We have successfully performed this surgery in 100 patients.

2026
This study describes a standardized surgical procedure for single-port endoscopic axillary lymph node dissection without liposuction in breast cancer. Indicated for patients with biopsy-confirmed nodal metastasis or positive sentinel lymph nodes, the technique emphasizes preservation of critical structures, particularly the intercostobrachial nerve, to reduce postoperative morbidity and optimize functional recovery.

2025
This prospective study evaluated the implementation of a novel, single-port, robotic platform in oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery for malignant lesions. The primary endpoint focused on technical success, defined as the achievement of tumor-free resection margins confirmed by intraoperative frozen-section histopathology, with secondary assessment of aesthetic outcomes and life quality score of patients.

The single-incision plus one-port laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with double-channel anastomosis was initially employed for the radical resection of proximal gastric cancer. This study demonstrated the feasibility of the procedure and laid a foundation for further research.
FAQs
The access port consolidates visualization and instrument delivery at one entry point. A camera provides the operative view, while articulated instruments permit dissection, suturing, and tissue removal without creating separate working incisions. This arrangement makes instrument control especially important because the surgeon must perform several tasks through the same access site during the operation.
Compared with conventional multiport laparoscopy, the main distinction is concentrating access at one incision rather than several. This configuration may reduce visible scarring and limit disruption of the abdominal wall. Those possible advantages do not make it universally preferable, because procedure complexity, patient anatomy, and the surgeon’s ability to control instruments still affect suitability.
Articulated instruments allow the surgeon to manipulate tissue through the access port while maintaining the ability to dissect, suture, and remove tissue. Their control is particularly important when several operative functions must be performed through one entry point. The quality and feasibility of the approach therefore depend partly on how effectively the surgeon can direct these instruments.
Patient anatomy, the complexity of the planned procedure, instrument control, and surgeon expertise all influence whether this approach is suitable. A single access point may be practical for selected operations but less appropriate when the operative task demands greater access flexibility. Clinical adoption therefore depends on matching the technique to both the case and the surgical team’s capabilities.
The surgeon first establishes access through the small incision and places a specialized port. The camera then provides visualization of the operative field, while articulated instruments pass through the same port. Under that view, the surgeon performs the required dissection, suturing, or tissue removal. The exact operative work varies with the condition and procedure.
Reported uses include cholecystectomy, appendectomy, and selected gynecologic or urologic operations. These examples show that the approach can support different types of tissue treatment, including dissection and removal, when the anatomy and operative demands are appropriate. Its use remains selective rather than universal, with procedure complexity and surgeon expertise influencing adoption.
