Single‐port surgery: Current applications and limitations

Introduction: In an attempt to further enhance the benefits of cosmesis and reduced morbidity of minimally invasive surgery, single‐port (incision) laparoscopic surgery (SPS) has emerged as a bridge between conventional laparoscopy and natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery. As the expertise and instrumentation required are an extension of standard laparoscopic techniques, SPS has been adapted for a variety of procedures and specialties in a short span of time.
