Laparoendoscopic single-site adrenalectomy versus multi-port laparoendoscopic adrenalectomy: A systemic review and meta-analysis. Ann Med Surg (Lond) 2021; 66:102388. [PMID: 34113440 PMCID: PMC8170104 DOI: 10.1016/j.amsu.2021.102388] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2021] [Revised: 05/03/2021] [Accepted: 05/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Background To investigate the outcomes of laparoendoscopic single-site adrenalectomy (LESS-A) compared to multi-port laparoendoscopic adrenalectomy (m-LA). Methods Studies comparing LESS-A with m-LA were identified from PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library before June 2020. Post-operative pain, resumption outcomes, and perioperative outcomes were analyzed. We conducted meta-analyses using the Mantel-Haenszel method with random-effects model. Subset analyses were conducted according to peritoneal and retroperitoneal approaches. A small study effect was illustrated using funnel plots and Egger's test. Results One randomized controlled trial (RCT) and nineteen retrospective cohort studies involving 1554 patients were included for analyzed. Pooled analysis showed that LESS-A had significantly lower postoperative pain scores (MD −0.77, 95%CI −1.45 to −0.10) and less pain medication used (RR 0.74, 95%CI 0.60 to 0.91) compared to m-LA. Besides, LESS-A had significantly shorter hospital stays (MD −0.75, 95%CI −1.18 to −0.33), shorter duration of oral intake resumption (MD −0.33, 95%CI −0.60 to −0.06), and better cosmetic satisfaction (SMD 1.15, 95%CI 0.21 to −2.09). As for perioperative outcomes, LESS-A led to significant longer operative time (MD 13.43, 95%CI 4.08 to 22.77). No significant differences were observed in terms of the remaining perioperative outcomes. Conclusions LESS-A is associated with less post-operative pain and quicker recovery duration. However, the longer operative time of LESS-A compared with m-LA is a drawback. Multi-port laparoscopic adrenalectomy (m-LA) is widely used for treatment of benign adrenal tumor. Laparoscopic single-site adrenalectomy (LESS-A) had significant less post-operative pain and less pain medication consumption comparing with m-LA. LESS-A had better resumption outcomes, including shorter hospital stay and quicker post-operative oral intake. LESS-A offer better cosmetic satisfaction. Longer operative time is a drawback of LESS-A.

A Comparative Analysis of Robotic Single-Site Surgery and Laparoendoscopic Single-Site Surgery as Therapeutic Options for Stage IB1 Cervical Squamous Carcinoma. Cancer Manag Res 2021; 13:3485-3492. [PMID: 33911898 PMCID: PMC8071700 DOI: 10.2147/cmar.s299827] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2020] [Accepted: 04/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose To compare perioperative outcomes between robotic single-site surgical technique and conventional laparoendoscopic single-site surgical technique. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study involving 67 patients who received robotic single-site surgery or laparoendoscopic single-site surgery for the treatment of stage IB1 cervical squamous carcinoma. The robotic single-site radical hysterectomy technique combined with pelvic lymph node dissections were performed in 32 patients while the laparoendoscopic single-site radical hysterectomy technique combined with pelvic lymph node dissections were performed in 35 patients. Results The enrolled patients had been diagnosed with stage IB1 cervical squamous carcinoma. The perioperative outcomes were mean age (51.63±8.32 years in the lymph node dissection (RSS group) and 53.14±8.14 years in the lymph node dissection (LESS group), p=0.453); BMIs (23.76±2.72 in the RSS group and 23.46±2.28 in the LESS group, p=0.629); shorter operative times (223.56±15.43 min in the RSS group and 248.61±20.89 min in the LESS group, p<0.01) and less estimated blood loss (217.25±16.77 mL in the RSS group and 294.74±24.00 mL in the LESS group, p<0.01). None of the study participants exhibited postoperative pain. There were no statistically significant differences in the length of hospital stay (p=0.865), perioperative complications (p=0.602), duration of closure and removal of catheter (p=0.518) as well as in pathological diagnoses between the two groups. Conclusion Robotic single-site surgery can be used in the treatment of early stage cervical cancer as it exhibits acceptable operative times and perioperative outcomes. This surgical technique is feasible and safe.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is the gold standard surgical approach for small benign adrenal tumors [1]. Several surgical approaches were developed in order to overcome the difficulty to access the adrenal glands, located in the upper retroperitoneum space [2-4]. Laparoendoscopic single-site posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy (LESS-PRA) is an emerging technique that reduced the multiple trocar-related trauma and improved cosmetic outcomes while minimizing postoperative morbidity [5-8]. The aim of this study was to describe our step-by-step technique for LESS-PRA and to compare our perioperative outcomes with the conventional 3-port lateral retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy (LRA). METHODS A retrospective review was carried out from February 2008 to January 2016 that included 100 patients with adrenal tumors smaller than 4 cm. Study exclusion criteria were defined as tumor size greater than 4 cm, patients older than 80 years, and body mass index (BMI) greater than 40. A total of 20 patients underwent LESS-PRA and 80 patients underwent 3-port lateral retroperitoneoscopic laparoscopic adrenalectomy. Patient's demographic data and perioperative outcomes were compared and statistically analyzed. The cosmetic satisfaction was evaluated with a visual analog scale. RESULTS Estimated blood loss was higher in LRA (100 vs. 50 ml; p = 0.35). Operative time was longer in LESS-PRA than LRA (100.0 vs. 60 min; p < 0.001). Analgesic time necessary for LRA was longer than LESS-PRA (40 vs. 24 h; p < 0.001). Cosmetic satisfaction score was higher in LESS-PRA (9.5 vs. 8.6; p = 0.03). There were no significant differences in perioperative complications and length of hospital stay. No conversion to conventional laparoscopic or open surgery was necessary. CONCLUSION LESS-PRA presented comparable functional and perioperative outcomes to LRA for small adrenal tumors. Although LESS-PRA was associated with longer operative time, it provided inferior estimated blood loss, analgesic time, and improved cosmetic satisfaction.

Abstract
Objective. To compare laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) and conventional multiport adrenalectomy in patients with aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA). Material and Methods. We retrospectively reviewed patients who had been clinically confirmed with unilateral APA and who underwent LESS or multiport adrenalectomy between 2009 and 2014. Perioperative data were obtained for all patients. Blood pressure and the levels of serum aldosterone, renin, and potassium were checked periodically. Results. We identified 45 APA patients in the LESS group and 71 in the multiport group. The baseline characteristics were matched between two groups. All adrenalectomies were completed successfully, except one with laparoscopic conversion in the single-port group and one open conversion in the multiport group. After a mean follow-up around one year, there were no significant group differences in the improvement of hypertension, number of types of medication taken, and cure of hypokalemia after operation. Conclusions. Our study confirm that LESS adrenalectomy achieved similar clinical and functional outcomes as conventional multiport adrenalectomy for management of unilateral APA.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to provide an evidence-based systematic review of the use of laparoscopic and robotic adrenalectomy in the treatment of adrenal disease as part of the International Consultation on Urological Diseases and European Association of Urology consultation on Minimally Invasive Surgery in Urology. A systematic literature search (January 2004 to January 2014) was conducted to identify comparative studies assessing the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive adrenal surgery. Subtopics including the role of minimally invasive surgery for pheochromocytoma, adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) and large adrenal tumours were examined. Additionally, the role of transperitoneal and retroperitoneal approaches, as well as laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) and robotic adrenalectomy were reviewed. The major findings are presented in an evidence-based fashion. Large retrospective and prospective data were analysed and a set of recommendations provided by the committee was produced. Laparoscopic surgery should be considered the first-line therapy for benign adrenal masses requiring surgical resection and for patients with pheochromocytoma. While a laparoscopic approach may be feasible for selected cases of ACC without adjacent organ involvement, an open surgical approach remains the 'gold standard'. Large adrenal tumours without preoperative or intra-operative suspicion of ACC may be safely resected via a laparoscopic approach. Both transperitoneal and retroperitoneal approaches to laparoscopic adrenalectomy are safe. The approach should be chosen based on surgeon training and experience. LESS and robotic adrenalectomy should be considered as alternatives to laparoscopic adrenalectomy but require further study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, laparoendoscopic single-site adrenalectomy (LESS-A) has been developed as an alternative treatment for adrenal tumors. Although LESS-A is more technically complex than conventional laparoscopic adrenalectomy, its learning curve and the factors associated with poor surgical outcomes are poorly understood. We analyzed the learning curve of LESS-A and attempted to identify risk factors associated with worse surgical outcomes. METHODS We identified 103 patients who underwent LESS-A [performed by the same surgeon (A.M.)] from 2009 to 2015. The learning curve was analyzed using the moving average method (the 10-case moving average), and we assessed potential risk factors for a prolonged pneumoperitoneum time. RESULTS The learning curve stabilized at 30 cases. The cases were divided into two groups, the learning stage (LS) (cases 1-29) and master stage (MS) (cases 30-103) groups. The percentage of females and the frequency of previous abdominal surgery were higher in the LS group (p = 0.022 and 0.001, respectively). In the LS group, the mean pneumoperitoneum time was 92 ± 35 min, which was significantly longer than the equivalent value for the MS group (55 ± 18 min, p < 0.001). In the LS group, univariate analysis revealed that tumor size (≥50 mm) and the visceral fat area (VFA)/total fat area (TFA) ratio (≥0.49) were significantly associated with a prolonged pneumoperitoneum time (p = 0.046 and 0.046, respectively). In the multivariate analysis, tumor size and the VFA/TFA ratio were confirmed to be associated with a prolonged pneumoperitoneum time (p = 0.029 and 0.029, odds ratio 20.83 and 20.83, respectively). On the other hand, none of the examined factors were found to be associated with a prolonged pneumoperitoneum time in the MS group. CONCLUSIONS LESS-A was performed safely in most cases. However, surgeons who are learning the LESS-A procedure need to pay attention to tumor size and visceral obesity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) adrenalectomy is a promising minimally invasive technique, however, the current evidence has not confirmed its long-term effectiveness in primary aldosteronism (PA). We conducted a study to analyze the long-term efficacy of LESS adrenalectomy in patients with PA. METHODS A total of 49 patients who had been clinically confirmed with PA who had an indication for unilateral adrenalectomy were included in this study. Perioperative data were obtained for all patients. Blood pressure and the levels of serum aldosterone, renin, and potassium were checked periodically. The median follow-up was 16.5 months. RESULTS No intra- or early post-operative complication occurred. All LESS adrenalectomies were completed successfully, except one with laparoscopic conversion. Hypokalemia was resolved in all cases and no patient required potassium supplements after surgery. Post-operative cure of hypertension was achieved in 63% of our patients. Overall, 84% of our PA patients had clinical improvement in blood pressure control after surgery. CONCLUSIONS Our long-term experience revealed that LESS adrenalectomy is a safe and effective approach, which demonstrated comparable long-term cure and improvement of hypertension to a conventional laparoscopic series in treating PA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To prospectively study the surgical strategies and clinical efficacy of laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) inguinal lymphadenectomy compared with conventional endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy for the management of inguinal nodes. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 12 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the penis who underwent penectomy between February and July 2013 were enrolled in the study. All 12 patients underwent bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy (LESS inguinal lymphadenectomy in one limb and conventional endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy in the other) with preservation of the saphenous vein. All lymphatic tissue in the boundaries of the adductor longus muscle (medially), the sartorius muscle (laterally), 2 cm above the inguinal ligament (superiorly), the Scarpa fascia (superficially) and femoral vessels (deeply) was removed in both surgical techniques. All 24 procedures were performed by one experienced surgeon. RESULTS All 24 procedures (12 LESS and 12 conventional endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomies) were completed successfully without conversion to open surgery. For LESS inguinal lymphadenectomy and conventional endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy groups, the mean ± sd operating time was 94.6 ± 14.8 min and 90.8 ± 10.6 min, respectively (P = 0.145). No significant differences in the incidence of postoperative complications (skin-related problems, hecatomb, lower extremity oedema, lymphatic complications and overall complications) were noted between the two groups (P > 0.05). No lower extremity oedema occurred in any limbs of the two groups. No significant differences were observed in either lymph node clearance rate or detection rate of histologically positive lymph nodes (P > 0.05). The patient satisfaction rate with scar appearance and cosmetic results was significantly better in the LESS inguinal lymphadenectomy group than in the conventional endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy group of (75 vs 25%; P = 0.039). CONCLUSIONS This preliminary study suggests that both LESS inguinal lymphadenectomy and conventional endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy are safe and feasible procedures for inguinal lymphadenectomy. Preservation of the saphenous vein during LESS inguinal lymphadenectomy/conventional endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy can effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative lower extremity oedema. LESS inguinal lymphadenectomy seems to provide better cosmetic results than conventional endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy.

Abstract
Numerous surgical modalities are available to treat adrenal lesions. Minimally-invasive approaches for adrenalectomy are indicated in most circumstances, and new evidence continues to be accumulated. In this context, current indications for open surgical adrenalectomy (OS-A), minimally-invasive adrenalectomy (MI-A), and laparoendoscopic single-site adrenalectomy (LESS-A) remain unclear. A comprehensive English-language literature review was performed using MEDLINE/PubMED to identify articles and guidelines pertinent to the surgical management of adrenal tumors. A comprehensive chart review was performed for three illustrative cases. Clinical recommendations were generated based on relevant literature and the expertise of the investigator group. MI-A offers advantages over OS-A in properly selected patients, who experience fewer complications, lower blood loss, and shorter hospital stays. Robot-assisted laparoscopic and retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy may offer advantages over transperitoneal surgery, and LESS-A may be an even less-invasive option that will require further evaluation. MI-A remains the surgical treatment of choice for most adrenal lesions. Tumor size and stage are the primary indications for selecting alternative treatment modalities. OS-A remains the gold standard for large tumors (> 10 cm) and suspected or known advanced stage malignancy. LESS-A appears to be an appropriate initial approach for small tumors (< 4-5 cm), including pheochromocytoma and isolated adrenal metastases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously reported our initial experience with laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) retroperitoneal partial adrenalectomy using a custom-made single-port device and conventional straight laparoscopic instruments. METHODS Between December 2010 and February 2012, LESS retroperitoneal partial adrenalectomies were performed in 11 patients. Six patients had aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs) and five patients had nonfunctioning tumors. A single-port access was created with an Alexis wound retractor (Applied Medical, Rancho Santa Margarita, CA, USA) through an incision of 2-3 cm beneath the tip of the 12th rib. All procedures were performed with straight laparoscopic instruments. RESULTS All LESS procedures were successfully completed without conversion to traditional laparoscopic conversion. The tumors ranged from 1 cm to 4.7 cm (mean, 2.3 cm). The operative time was 71-257 minutes (mean, 121 minutes). Most patients (n = 8) had minimal blood loss; the other three patients had a blood loss of 150 mL, 100 mL, and 100 mL. The mean hospital stay was 3 days (range, 1-6 days). There were no perioperative or postoperative complications. Pathological examinations revealed negative surgical margins in all specimens. All patients with Conn's syndrome had an improvement in blood pressure and normalization of plasma renin activity and serum aldosterone levels; all patients were free of potassium supplementation. CONCLUSION Our results clearly demonstrate that LESS retroperitoneal partial adrenalectomy can be performed safely and effectively using a custom-made single-access platform and standard laparoscopic instruments.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the surgical efficacy and potential advantages of laparoendoscopic single-site adrenalectomy (LESS-AD) compared with conventional laparoscopic adrenalectomy (CL-AD) based on published literature. METHODS An online systematic search in electronic databasesM including Pubmed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library, as well as manual bibliography searches were performed. All studies that compared LESS-AD with CL-AD were included. The outcome measures were the patient demographics, tumor size, blood loss, operative time, time to resumption of oral intake, hospital stay, postoperative pain, cosmesis satisfaction score, rates of complication, conversion, and transfusion. A meta-analysis of the results was conducted. RESULTS A total of 443 patients were included: 171 patients in the LESS-AD group and 272 patients in the CL-AD group (nine studies). There was no significant difference between the two groups in any of the demographic parameters expect for lesion size (age: P=0.24; sex: P=0.35; body mass index: P=0.79; laterality: P=0.76; size: P=0.002). There was no significant difference in estimated blood loss, time to oral intake resumption, and length of stay between the two groups. The LESS-AD patients had a significantly lower postoperative visual analog pain score compared with the CL-AD group, but a longer operative time was noted. Both groups had a comparable cosmetic satisfaction score. The two groups had a comparable rate of complication, conversion, and transfusion. CONCLUSIONS In early experience, LESS-AD appears to be a safe and feasible alternative to its conventional laparoscopic counterpart with decreased postoperative pain noted, albeit with a longer operative time. As a promising and emerging minimally invasive technique, however, the current evidence has not verified other potential advantages (ie, cosmesis, recovery time, convalescence, port-related complications, etc.) of LESS-AD.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the efficacy and safety of laparoendoscopic single-site adrenalectomy (LESS-A) and conventional laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) as a systematic review and meta-analysis of current evidence. METHODS We conducted a thorough search for comparative studies that compared LESS-A and conventional LA in the following databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane library. Studies were reviewed independently and rated by Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale. The operative time, estimated blood loss in operation, the time to resume oral intake after surgery, postoperative hospital stay, and the visual analog pain scale (VAPS) score were included for analysis to compare the efficacy, while the complications together with the analgesia use were included for analysis to compare the safety. RESULTS Nine studies with 171 LESS-A cases and 272 conventional LA cases were identified. Although operative time was longer in LESS-A (mean difference [MD] 15.46, 95% confidence interval [CI] 11.18 to 19.74), estimated blood loss (MD 4.72, 95% CI 12.08 to 21.52) and the time to resume oral intake (MD -0.04, 95% CI -0.19 to 0.11) were similar; LESS-A presented a shorter postoperative stay in hospital (MD -0.60, 95% CI -0.86 to -0.35) and lower VAPS score (MD -1.21, 95% CI -1.44 to -0.97). Besides, the risk of minor postoperative complications (risk ratio [RR] 1.74, 95% CI 0.78 to 3.87) was similar. The postoperative analgesia demand in total (RR 0.65, 95% CI 0.52 to 0.81) together with the analgesia usage lasting more than 24 hours after surgery (RR 0.35, 95% CI 0.21 to 0.58) were associated with lower risk in LESS-A, however. CONCLUSIONS Based on current evidence, the operative time seems to be longer in LESS-A; however, operative blood loss and complications are similar. In addition, LESS-A presents a shorter hospital stay after surgery and more acceptable perception of pain than conventional LA.
