Abstract

HandPort laparoscopic surgery is a hybrid operation that allows the surgeon to introduce his nondominant hand into abdominal cavity through the port while maintaining pneumoperitoneum. It also helps to gain experience and expertise to learn advanced laparoscopic procedures. The common surgeries where HandPort is useful are laparoscopic splenectomy, colectomies, and donor nephrectomies. HandPort facilitates dissection and extraction of specimens. Hand in abdomen restores tactile sensation which is lacking in laparoscopic procedures. It reduces operative time, increases technical expertise of surgeon, and decreases blood loss. This article reviews the current status of HandPort laparoscopic surgery, the various HandPort devices, and their use.
