. It is a true single port laparoscopic technique.
The umbilical incision is small, which leads to
little trauma.
. Because the instruments are inserted through
finger tips of a glove, the distance between
instruments increases obviously and mutual
interference decreases. There is a greater degree
of freedom for instrument movement thus
reducing the technical complexity of this
operation.
. Gloves are cheaper and obtained more easily
than special trocar systems, such as R-port and
Uni-x single laparoscopic port system. This procedure
could be widely applied in clinical practice
and be accepted easily by patients.
. During this procedure, no special equipment is
needed, which means the instrument for conventional
laparoscopic cholecystectomy is
enough.
