Abstract

The EndoGrab™ Port-Free Endocavity Retractor is an internally anchored retracting device that enables surgeons to reduce not only the number of ports and incisions but also the number of assistant surgeons. Our institution performs single-incision laparoscopic colectomy (SILC) as a routine procedure. Forty-nine patients underwent a single-incision laparoscopic right hemicolectomy. In this procedure, we use this retractor to the mesenteric tissue, including the ileocolic vessels and the mesentery of the transverse colon, and overcame the technical problems related to SILC and showed excellent short-term outcomes. To perform SILC safely while maintaining the minimal invasiveness and the quality, the use of this retractor is essential, especially in difficult situations, such as an unfavorable visual field when performing a lymph node dissection around the middle colic vessels in right hemicolectomy.
