| Popis: | To present our novel technique for subsequent port placement during video endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy (VEIL) surgery. VEIL has provided positive results in terms of reduction of pain, early recovery, and better cosmesis. Ten patients who underwent VEIL procedure during 2012–2015 were included in this study to assess feasibility, safety, and advantages of port placement by our new technique which include placement of subsequent ports with the help cannula of the first port. The size of incision, time taken for port placement, leakage of pneumo, any complication(s), and potential learning curve or special instrument requirements were noted in these patients. Median incision size was 10 mm and 5 mm for their respective sized ports with this new technique. Pneumo leakage was not seen in any patient. Median time taken for subsequent port placement was 2 min ± 15 s. No complication was noted to patients or the operating surgeon. The technique proved to be feasible and needed no special equipment or training. We report technical feasibility, safety, and advantages of a new technique for port placement during VEIL surgery emphasising its potential to become a standard technique in the near future. |
