Assessment of Intracorporeal Suturing in Single-Port Surgery Using an Experimental Suturing Model
2017
The aim of this study is to assess the difficulty of intracorporeal suturing in single-port surgery, using experimental suturing model in dry box. Subjects were divided for three groups: seven experienced laparoscopic surgeons, seven surgical residents, and seven interns. An experimental suturing model is developed, and working angle was set from 0° to 90°. The completion rate in 0° was significantly lower than that in the other angles. Completion rate of group A was higher than that of the other groups. Precision of task in group A was significantly higher than that of group B and group C in 0° and 60°. Stress score in 0° were significantly higher than that in the other angles. Our study demonstrated that intracorporeal suturing in single-port surgery seems to be more difficult than conventional laparoscopic surgery. Our data should be taken the institution under consideration for introduction of single-port surgery.
