**1. Introduction**

Continued efforts to further reduce morbidity and improve the aesthetic outcomes of laparoscopic surgery while maintaining the same degree of safety and surgical efficiency have led to the evolution of single-port or single-incision laparoscopy. A surfeit of acronyms has been used to refer to these techniques until a consensus statement, following the first Laparoendoscopic Single-Site Surgery Consortium for Assessment and Research (LESSCAR), agreed to use the term "LESS" [1]. By reducing the number of transcutaneous points of access, the approach offers numerous advantages including but not limited to improving postoperative recovery time and pain, enhancing cosmesis, and minimizing portrelated complications [2, 3].
