Midline incision as specimen extraction site: always to avoid? Single center experience about the use of enlarged umbilical trocar access.
Authors: Botteri E, Turolo C, Caprioli M, Vettoretto N
Abstract
By the years several locations for specimen extraction site (SES) during laparoscopic surgery for colorectal disease have been proposed and many studies have focused their attention on outcomes and complications, but the 'best' SES has not yet been found. In this paper we describe our experience using the enlargement of umbilical trocar access as SES during laparoscopic colorectal surgery: at the end of the intracorporal phase we remove Hasson's trocar from the umbilicus, therefore the skin and fascial incision is enlarged up to 5-6 cm. In our...
