This surgical atlas is a guide to single-port, standard laparoscopy and robotic surgery, describing the evolution of techniques such as single-port laparoscopy. Shows the challenges of single-port surgery, including instrument crowding and articulation.

Minimally invasive surgery has emerged as the standard treatment for many gynecologic diseases and conditions. In the past decade, numerous studies have demonstrated the superiority of laparoscopic approaches over standard open procedures in terms of improved quality of life for patients. Innovations in minimally invasive surgical technology—such as multichannel ports, articulating instruments, and flexible high-definition endoscopes—have made it possible for laparoscopic surgeons to perform increasingly complicated gynecologic surgeries through smaller incisions. As such, since the first...
