Abstract

The article focuses on the technique of Laparoendoscopic Single-Site Surgery (LESS) cholecystectomy using a new retraction device, the Endograb. It informs that the LESS technique has been described for cholecystectomy, appendectomy and obesity surgery. One of the limitations of the technique is the lack of retraction. It is stated that the Endograb system provides a method to enhance retraction during LESS cholecystectomy.
