Abstract EN
Laparoendoscopic single site surgery (LESS) is a new avenue in laparoscopic urology.
The main advantage is the enhanced cosmetic benefits of single hidden scar.
Lately many papers are being published on various procedures done by LESS.
Like conventional laparoscopy, this approach is likely to be used more widely and hence exposure to this field is essential.
However, formal training in this technique is not widely available.
Expensive ports and nonavailability of endotrainer may be the factors deterring the training.
We have modified the standard laparoscopic endotrainer with improvised ports, to make it suitable for single port laparoscopic training.
For the animal lab training improvised ports and low cost instruments were used.
Thus the overall cost of the training in LESS was reduced, and better confidence levels were achieved prior to human applications.
