Early experience with isobaric laparoendoscopic single-site surgery using a wound retractor for the management of ectopic pregnancy

Based on the satisfactory outcome achieved in these initial 12 cases of ectopic pregnancy treated by isobaric LESS surgery, the wound retraction system combined with the subcutaneous abdominal wall-lift method appears to contribute favorably to LESS surgery for the management of ectopic pregnancy because the device permits free circumferential access and retraction during procedures without the closed condition required during pneumoperitoneum.
