Abstract
The authors have created a reproducible laparoscope holder that is 150 euros less expensive, which can be used to perform laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and sacral colpopexy with a single assistant and four free hands. One hundred and sixteen procedures were performed with this original, compact and easy to use apparatus. The characteristics of this scope holder allow mobilization of the camera in three dimensions and maintenance of a fixed image after positioning. This laparoscope holder provides an economic solution that can be used in all laparoscopy units and which liberates the assistant's two hands.
