Is single-incision laparoscopic surgery an evolving technology which is showing great promise for patients who need minimally-invasive surgery? Is there less chance of infection, less scarring and better cosmetic results, meaning patients can recover faster because there are fewer incisions? Can we expect to see this technique being applied to more and more general laparoscopic […]

Is the PAS-Port system associated with significant patient benefits compared with hand-sewn anastomoses?
