Single port laparoscopic-assisted ovariohysterectomy in 3 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 SILS Port multiple access port. This type of minimally invasive surgery using only 1 port and a controlled Hasson approach provides decreased risk of iatrogenic abdominal viscera penetration. This SILS 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.
