Abstract

The practice of endoscopic surgery spread quickly around the world after an endoscopic cholecystectomy was performed in the late 1980s, and the number of organs to which endoscopic surgery is applied has increased steadily. Endoscopic treatment was actually introduced in the 1960s in the field of gynecology, and it was implemented in the form of single-port laparoscopic surgery (SPLS). The application of SPLS to many different organs is, however, something that began to emerge only a few years ago, and the recent rapid spread of SPLS is due largely to technological advances in endoscopic surgery over the past few years. The umbilical incision used in SPLS is subject to scar contraction; after surgery the scar shrinks so that it is almost unnoticeable. From a cosmetic perspective, the procedure offers greater advantage to patients than any other surgical method currently in general use. For surgeons, who are constantly required to reduce the cosmetic impact and implement minimally invasive approaches, SPLS is worthy of serious consideration. This chapter reviews the history of, and transitions in, SPLS, per the organ(s) to which it is applied.
