Abstract
The concept of single-access laparoscopic surgery is to perform the procedure through one skin access (port). Several acronyms have been used to describe this concept, such as our single-access laparoscopic surgery (SALS), single port access (SPA) laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS), and single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS), and they all refer to the same procedure.
