Application of a custom-made single-incision sealing device in laparoscopic surgery for totally extraperitoneal herniorrhaphy: initial experience.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In this research, the safety and feasibility of single-incision laparoscopic surgery for total intraperitoneal herniorrhaphy (SILS-TEP) was clarified through a customized single-port device.

Methods

A 2.5 cm curved incision was made along the lower umbilical margin. The subcutaneous fatty tissue was removed by electrotomy or blunt dissection to form a 5.0 cm preperitoneal space under the posterior sheath. The Iconport single-hole device silicone sealing sleeve was wedged under the posterior rectus sheath and inflated with CO₂ to dilate the anterior peritoneal space toward the lower abdomen. According to the standard method of laparoscopic total peritoneal hernia repair, conventional laparoscopic instruments were used to complete the operation.
