Single incision laparoscopic surgery for ileal J-pouch-anal anastomosis: a 15-year review of the literature.

ABSTRACT: Single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) has emerged as a refinement of minimally invasive techniques, offering potential cosmetic and postoperative recovery benefits. This review aimed to evaluate the current evidence regarding the safety, feasibility, and outcomes of SILS for ileal J-pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA). A structured literature search was performed in PubMed for studies published between January 2010 and January 2025, focusing on adult and pediatric patients undergoing restorative proctocolectomy with IPAA performed through a single incision. Twenty-two studies were identified, encompassing 182 procedures. The mean operative time ranged from 144-284 min. Reported conversion to multiport laparoscopy or open surgery occurred in 3.9% of cases, while the mean estimated blood los
