Transumbilical laparoendoscopic single‐site surgery in urology

Laparoendoscopic single‐site surgery has seen a dramatic rise in the urological community. With the advent of new techniques and instrumentation, laparoendoscopic single‐site surgery has become more accessible for a wide variety of applications. The majority have been carried out through a transumbilical incision in order to effectively hide the scar within the umbilicus. Here, we review the history and clinical applications for transumbilical laparoendoscopic single‐site surgery within urology. The current scope is broad, and great strides have been made, but the overall benefit appears to be predominantly cosmetic. Diffusion of laparoendoscopic single‐site surgery techniques from tertiary referral centers to the community urologist remains unknown. This review demonstrates the feasibility of transumbilical laparoendoscopic single‐site surgery as shown in the urological literature.
