Abstrakt: Objectives: To determine the feasibility and safety of performing transvesical laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (T-LESS) in patients with medium-size, hard stones or multiple stones with high burden.
Methods: In this case series study, 12 patients (11 males and one female) with a mean age of 66.8 years were operated on from February 2016 to May 2017 due to bladder calculi, using the T-LESS approach with a single-port device (Tri-Port + , Olympus, Germany). Indications for this procedure were hard, medium-size, solitary stones after previous unsuccessful endoscopic lithotripsy or the presence of multiple high-burden stones. In two patients, additional procedures (diverticulectomy or a ureterocele incision) were performed simultaneously.
Results: All stones were removed intact. No serious complications were observed. The mean operative time was 46 min and the postoperative hospital stay was 22 h. The mean diameter of the largest stone and the mean stone volume of each case were 24 mm and 11 cm 3 , respectively. At the mean follow-up time of 15 months, there was significant improvement of the symptoms.
Conclusions: The T-LESS technique is an efficient, safe and minimally invasive procedure for intact bladder stone removal in selected patients. The method avoids the risk of urethral injury. Nevertheless, further investigation is needed to assess the wider applicability of the procedure.
