- Abstract
<bold><italic>Objective:</italic></bold> To evaluate the efficacy and safety of laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) in the repair of intraperitoneal bladder rupture. <bold><italic>Patients and Methods:</italic></bold> All consecutive patients who underwent LESS for intraperitoneal bladder rupture in three hospitals in Korea were included prospectively in this study. LESS was performed using a homemade single-port device composed of an Alexis wound retractor and a surgical glove. <bold><italic>Results:</italic></bold> Of the 22 patients, 18 were male. The mean age was 40.50 ± 11.83 years. The mean body mass index was 24.19 ± 2.61 kg/m2. The cause of rupture was trauma (<italic>n</italic> = 21) or iatrogenic injury (<italic>n</italic> = 1). The mean bladder rupture diameter was 3.41 ± 1.01 cm. LESS bladder rupture repair was completed effectively in all patients. The mean operative time was 89.05 ± 11.29 minutes. The mean length of hospital stay was 2.91 ± 0.53 days. Postoperatively, none of the patients required patient-controlled analgesia, and none developed major complications. The urethral Foley catheter was removed 7.68 ± 2.08 days after surgery. <bold><italic>Conclusions:</italic></bold> LESS repair of intraperitoneal bladder rupture, which involves a homemade single-port device, was a feasible and safe alternative to conventional laparoscopy in this case series.
