Experimental use of a novel single-port gasless laparoendoscopic operative field formation device.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Traditional laparaendoscopic surgery using CO2 pneumoperitoneum is associated with complications and the existing gasless laparaendoscopic surgery has shortcomings such as poor visibility in the operation field. To overcome the disadvantages of the current lifting gasless laparaendoscopic operation platforms, we developed an inflatable device for gasless laparoscopic operation field formation (LOFF) that can be internally installed and applied in practice.

Methods

We initially designed operation platforms for gasless laparaendoscopic single-port (GLESP) surgery. Subsequently, a triangular prismatic LOFF device was selected and applied successfully to GLESP cholecystectomy of five pigs. Ultimately, using pigs as a model, three surgical approaches (LOFF-assisted l
