Single port laparoscopic-assisted ovariohysterectomy in three rabbits

Single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) involves only a single 2 –3cm incision in the ventral midline of the patient with entry of the port, particularly the foam SILSTM Port multiple access port. This type of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) surgery with use of only one port and a controlled Hasson approach provides decreased risk of iatrogenic abdominal visce ra penetration. This SILSTM Port (Covidien, Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN) also allows easy transition of instruments, telescope, and bipolar electrocautery devices amongst the 3 built-in cannulae for ideal triangulation for each side of the patient.
