While the usual laparoscopic surgery (TAPP and TEP methods) involves drilling three holes in the abdomen, our clinic performs the procedure in one location, just in the umbilicus (SILS-TEP method).
According to the latest (2021) tabulation published by Japanese Society for Endoscopic Surgery, our hospital accounts for 16.3% of TEP procedures performed in Japan and 98.1% of procedures performed only in the umbilicus (SILS method).
