  • Title: Appendectomy conducted with Single Port Incisionless-Intracorporeal Conventional Equipment-Endoscopic Surgery.
    Author: Akgür FM, Olguner M, Hakgüder G, Ateş O.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 2010 May; 45(5):1061-3. PubMed ID: 20438955.
    Abstract:
    In "single conventional port" intracorporeal laparoscopic appendectomy, the appendix is suspended with a transabdominal SLING suture, which replaces the second working instrument (grasper). Thus, the second port is not required. We had modified the SLING suture to SWING suture and renamed our technique as Single Port Incisionless-Intracorporeal Conventional Equipment-Endoscopic Surgery. We herein present our experience with appendectomy conducted by the Single Port Incisionless-Intracorporeal Conventional Equipment-Endoscopic Surgery using the homemade grasper: the SWING suture.
