PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The goal was to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and reproducibility of total and radical single-site hysterectomy. RECENT FINDINGS: Minimally invasive surgery represents the gold standard for benign and malignant gynecological disease. Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery has emerged as a new technical concept to decrease parietal trauma and improve body image. Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery is not a new essay, but recent developments in surgical technology have resulted in an exponential enlargement of indications. Recently published data showed feasibility, safety, and reproducibility of single-port hysterectomy for benign and malignant gynecological diseases. SUMMARY: Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery represents a new challenge in minimally invasive surgery and appears to be feasible and safe to perform in a variety of gynecologic diseases. The aim of this review is to critically analyze the recent literature about single-site hysterectomy.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The goal was to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and reproducibility of total and radical single-site hysterectomy. RECENT FINDINGS: Minimally invasive surgery represents the gold standard for benign and malignant gynecological disease. Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery has emerged as a new technical concept to decrease parietal trauma and improve body image. Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery is not a new essay, but recent developments in surgical technology have resulted in an exponential enlargement of indications. Recently published data showed feasibility, safety, and reproducibility of single-port hysterectomy for benign and malignant gynecological diseases. SUMMARY: Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery represents a new challenge in minimally invasive surgery and appears to be feasible and safe to perform in a variety of gynecologic diseases. The aim of this review is to critically analyze the recent literature about single-site hysterectomy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
