OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of @entity302 ( @entity302 ) for the treatment of @entity20428 . METHODS: We have performed @entity302 to treat @entity20428 using a single three-channel port system with a wound retractor and surgical glove since October 2008. All @entity1 who underwent @entity302 for @entity20428 between October 2008 and September 2009 were included in the study. We retrospectively reviewed their medical records and analyzed demographic data and surgical outcomes including age, medico-surgical illness, surgical indications, operative times and pathologic results. RESULTS: Eighty-six @entity1 underwent @entity302 for @entity20428 . The median age of the @entity1 was 31 years (range 14-78 years), the median body mass index was 21.0 kg/m(2) (range 16.7-32.2 kg/m(2)), and the median operation time was 64.5 min (range 21-176 min). The median @entity190 was 10 ml (range 10-300 ml). The median length of postoperative hospital stay was 2 days (range 1-7 days). Endometriosis was the most frequently diagnosed etiology (34.9%). Other laparoscopic approaches were employed in two cases (2.3%). There were four cases (4.7%) with complications: three with @entity5280 and one with @entity86 . CONCLUSIONS: @entity302 is a feasible approach for the treatment of @entity20428 .
