LESS in urology.

Abstract

Since the first cases using a single port/single site access were performed in 2007, these techniques have come a long way. The nomenclature of LESS, bringing these procedures under one umbrella, was bestowed in 2008 by the LESSCAR group. This terminology was accepted and incorporated by what is now the LESS/NOTES working group of the Endourology Society. This group has been at the forefront of forming a registry of and documenting complications arising from all such procedures in urology.
