Minimally invasive surgery has significant benefits for patient’s post operative recovery and reduced port surgery is and should be a goal for all operative gynaecologists today and into the future.  Single site surgery is not in the scope of general laparoscopic training in gynaecology and therefore few operative gynaecologists have the opportunity to master this technique.  With the help of newer single site entry devices this surgery becomes more ergonomic making multiport operative gynaecological procedures now in the realm of the single site surgeon.

Presented here are the critical steps to complete a total laparoscopic hysterectomy safely through a single port.
