Background : Acute appendicitis is the most common surgical emergency in daily practice, and is approached laparoscopically in many centers. Efforts have been undertaken for the development of minimally invasive techniques that reduce tissue trauma and offer improved cosmetic results, one of such being the single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS). Aim : To present a minimally invasive technique for appendectomy (SILS) undertaken with conventional instruments. Method : Eleven patients were treated in the emergency care center presenting abdominal pain in the right iliac fossa that was suggestive of appendicitis. Diagnostic investigation was subsequently conducted, including physical examination, laboratory and imaging exams (CT scan with intravenous contrast or total abdominal ultrasound), and the results were consistent with acute appendicitis. Thus, after consent, these patients underwent SILS appendectomy under general anesthesia with three trocars (two 10 mm and one 5 mm), using conventional and optical laparoscopic tweezers (10 mm, 30º). The base and pedicle of the appendix were ligated with titanium LT 400 clips. The procedure occurred uneventfully. Inclusion criteria were absence of diffuse peritonitis, BMI (body mass index) less than 35 and absence of serious comorbidities or sepsis. Results : Seven men and four women were operated with average age of 25.7 years and underwent appendectomy through this technique. Mean procedure duration was of 37.2 min. Regarding surgical findings, three had appendicitis in stage 1, four in stage 2 and four in stage 3. All patients improved well, without surgical complications, and did not require conversion to open surgery or conventional laparoscopy technique. Conclusion : Appendectomy conducted through Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery is a feasible and promising technique that can be performed with conventional laparoscopic instruments.

Field Notes

This chapter introduces the concepts of natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) and single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS). The field of NOTES has evolved over the past decade, and this developmental framework is also outlined to help better understand the current state of the field. NOTES describes a minimally invasive approach to surgical diseases in which instruments are passed transluminally to achieve access to the desired body. SILS is a minimally invasive approach carried out as an extension of traditional laparoscopic surgery. The anesthetic implications of NOTES and SILS are explained, including potential complications that are unique to each. Finally, future directions in developmental endoscopy are discussed to give a sense of what types of procedures may become available or commonplace in the coming decade.

Point Of Entry

Single-incision laparoscopic surgery is an emerging minimally invasive approach. When using the single-incision laparoscopic surgery approach, the surgeon operates almost exclusively through a single point of entry, usually the patient's umbilicus. This approach is steadily gaining popularity among minimally invasive surgeons, as it combines the cosmetic advantage of Natural Orifice Translumenal Surgery with the technical familiarity of conventional laparoscopic surgery. In this report, we describe our implementation of the single-incision laparoscopic approach to perform an unroofing of a posttraumatic splenic cyst; in this case, the entire procedure is performed through a 2-cm intraumbilical incision.

Significant Difference

Background: Appendicitis is primarily a disease of adolescents and young adults with a peak incidence in the second and third decades of life. Appendectomy for appendicitis is the most commonly performed emergency operation in the world.For more than a century, open appendectomy remained the gold standard for the treatment of acute appendicitis.  Laparoscopic surgery has become popular universally during the last couple of decades.   Efforts are still being made to decrease abdominal incision and visible scars after laparoscopy.  Single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) is a new innovation allowing minimal access surgery to be performed through a single umbilical incision.Methods: It was a prospective study carried out on 50 patients diagnosed as acute appendicitis. They were divided into two groups of 25 each. One group underwent Conventional Laparoscopic Appendectomy (CLA) and other group underwent Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS).  Results were compared with regard to mean operative time,   complications, post-operative pain and discomfort (vas score at 12 hours), post-operative morbidity, duration of hospital stay and condition at discharge and cosmesis.Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups with respect to the parameters like postoperative pain, hospital stay and complication profile. However, operative time for SILS appendectomy were found to be significantly higher compared to conventional group.Conclusions: Single incision laparoscopic appendectomy using standard laparoscopic instruments is safe and effective, feasible surgery with better cosmetic results.

Safe Technique

Background. Laparoscopic appendicectomy is accepted by many as the gold standard approach for the treatment of acute appendicitis. The use of Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS) has the potential of further reducing postoperative port site complications as well as improving cosmesis and patient satisfaction. Method. In this paper we report our experience and assess the feasibility of SILS appendicectomy in the pediatric setting. Results. Five pediatric patients with uncomplicated appendicitis underwent SILS appendicectomy. There were no significant intraoperative or postoperative complications. All patients were discharged within 24 hours. Conclusions. The use of Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery appears to be a feasible and safe technique for the treatment of uncomplicated appendicitis in the pediatric setting. Further studies are warranted to fully investigate the potential advantages of this new technique.
