title: Single-port Laparoscopic Total Hysterectomy and Bilateral Salpingo-oopherectomy Combined with Burch Colposuspension.
abstract: Recently, scarless surgery has become a widely used surgical technique and many laparoscopic surgeons have attempted to reduce incisional morbidity and improve cosmetic outcomes by using fewer and smaller ports. Laparoscopic combined procedures permit simultaneous treatments for multiple pathologies. In single time anaesthesia, these combined minimally invasive procedures gives the advantages of less pain and morbidity, faster recovery and shorter hospital stay. Moreover, these combined procedures can be performed with a single incision and can have additional benefits for the patients and the hospital. Here we describe a single port laparoscopic total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oopherectomy combined with Burch colposuspension. The operation was completed laparoscopically with single port, without intra-operative or postoperative complications, in a single session. The patient was discharged the following morning. With a single incision multidisciplinary laparoscopic approaches can offer suitable, effective and safe treatments.
