Recently, single-port laparoscopic surgery (SPLS) has emerged as a technique that further reduces access-related trauma while preserving the benefits of conventional laparoscopy. Thus, this review aimed to examine the current landscape of SPLS in trauma care, summarizing available clinical data and highlighting practical considerations for its use. Despite the limited experience, early evidence suggests that SPLS can achieve diagnostic and therapeutic outcomes comparable to those achieved by multi-port approaches in selected cases. Particular attention is given to a hybrid method that combines intracorporeal assessment with extracorporeal small bowel examination and repair through a single umbilical incision. This technique offers a pragmatic balance between thorough exploration and minimal invasiveness. <b>Methods</b>: We searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar through December 2023 using the terms \"single-port laparoscopy\", \"single-incision laparoscopic surgery\", \"trauma laparoscopy\", and related phrases. Case reports, case series, comparative studies, and reviews describing single-incision laparoscopic surgery in trauma were included in this narrative analysis. <b>Results</b>: SPLS may offer advantages in terms of postoperative pain, wound complications, and cosmetic outcomes, especially in younger patients. As familiarity with the approach increases and dedicated instrumentation becomes more accessible, its role in trauma protocols may expand. <b>Conclusions</b>: Further prospective research is needed to define long-term outcomes, refine patient selection, and integrate SPLS more systematically into trauma care protocols.</p>","PeriodicalId":15533,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Medicine","volume":"14 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144158747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, clinical trials involving human participants have reported inconsistent results regarding the effects of PRP on ACL reconstruction outcomes. <b>Methods</b>: Between 2020 and 2024, a total of 68 subjects who underwent ACLR were included in the study. Participants were divided into two groups, namely a treatment group that followed a standard rehabilitation protocol and received PRP infiltrations, and a control group that followed the same protocol without PRP treatment. Muscle strength was assessed using the isometric max strength balance (IMSB) test and the concentric max strength balance (CMSB) test, both performed using the Kineo Intelligent Load device (Globus Kineo 7000, Italian Excellence, Rome, Italy). <b>Results</b>: The results of IMSB test showed a significant difference between treatment groups according to a two-way ANOVA test (F(1, 198) = 7.345; <i>p</i> = 0.0073). The PRP-treated group showed significantly higher quadriceps muscle strength at 6 months (34.9 ± 9.6 vs. 30.0 ± 8.2 kg). The CMSB test also showed a significant difference at 6 months (F(1, 198) = 5.976; <i>p</i> = 0.00154), with the PRP-treated group having significantly higher concentric muscle strength (35.5 ± 9.5 vs. 30.7 ± 8.5 kg). <b>Conclusions</b>: These findings suggest that post-ligamentoplasty PRP infiltrations may have beneficial effects on muscle strength recovery. However, further prospective studies with larger sample sizes are necessary to confirm these results.</p>","PeriodicalId":15533,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Medicine","volume":"14 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144159280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
