Excerpt

Transumbilical laparoscopic or laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) is an emerging concept that has developed rapidly during the past 5 years. Almost all traditional laparoscopic surgeries can be performed transumbilically, including surgeries for morbid obesity, liver, splenic, or gastrointestinal diseases. It is estimated that 50–80 % of traditional laparoscopic surgery could be performed transumbilically in the next 5 years according to the LESSCAR consensus [1]. …
