Is it feasible to develop a novel laparoscopic surgical technique for cholecystectomy utilizing only transumbilical incisions? Is cholecystectomy performed through laparoscopic incisions placed within the umbilicus technically feasible and safe? Will the development of advanced flexible instrumentation and visualization platforms facilitate this new operative approach?

Why has Single Port Access SPA surgery been called scarless surgery in spite of a single incision? Will all required instruments go through a single hole? Does the surgeon have to adopt to a steep learning curve when using highly maneuverable instrumentation?

Are there too many open-incision abdominal hysterectomies performed? Is total laparoscopic surgery, using three or four incisions, usuable in most patients with noncancerous conditions? Will single-incision laparoscopic surgery substitue traditional laparoscopy?

Is the real benefit to the SPA technique that it allows surgeons to do the same laparoscopic procedure they’ve been doing for the past 15 years but through fewer incisions? Are fewer incisions better for the patient in terms of the amount of discomfort, recovery time, and scarring? Are surgeons and gynecologists interested in learning […]

What are the benefits of performing a cholecystectomy through a 20mm umbilical port that might increase the risk of abdominal wall complications? Will it be possible to reduce the size of the instruments and scopes to make them suitable for a smaller umbilical port? What role have flexible scopes with operative channels and endoscopic instruments?
