Single-port access laparoscopic surgery using a novel laparoscopic port (Octo-Port)
Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2011 We present our initial experience with single-port access (SPA) surgery using a novel laparoscopic port (Octo-Port).In a prospective study, SPA surgery was carried out on 11 patients with the Octo-Port from July 2009 to December 2009 by a single surgeon (T.-J. K.).
