GASCON HOVE, M.; GARIJO ALVAREZ, J.A.  y  GONZALEZ ELOSUA DE FRANCISCO, T.. Abdominal hernia repair with SILS technique. Sanid. Mil. [online]. 2011, vol.67, n.1, pp.25-27. ISSN 1887-8571.

Abdominal surgery is leading to less invasive and cosmetically superior approaches, such as SILS. Due to new surgical advances, it is possible to insert into the abdomen multiple instruments through a single device. One option is Tri-Port™. We report a patient with ventral hernia previously repaired in other hospital, who underwent a laparoscopic abdminal hernia repair through a single umbilical incision. No additional transabdominal sutures were utilized in this procedure. No perioperative or postoperative complications were recorded and the patient was discharged 48 hours after surgery with no postoperative pain. Single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) hernia repair is feasable and safe, and represents a valuable alternative to a laparoscopic approach, although it is technically more complicated. Further studies are necessary to recommend it as a standard procedure.
