Abstract

Hand assisted laparoscopic surgery is an updated highly advanced version of laparoscopic technique. Such techniques bridge the gap between traditional surgery and total laparoscopic surgery. [1] Introduction of the hand intracorporeally enhanced the degree of freedom, hence, a remarkable degree of precision and safety in task performance. [2] Clinical and experimental studies confirmed safe use of the hand with insufflation pressure enhancing dexterity as well as a steep learning curve. [3] Therefore, the author made an overview analysis to the factors related to safety; efficiency; dexterity; instrumentation and cost-effectiveness for the use of hand assisted laparoscopic surgery; with a particular emphasis on Live donor nephrectomy. Prospective Studies made by Kolvenbach R [1995] on the use of hand assisted laparoscopic surgery in aortic aneurysm repair proved high degree of safety and efficiency as well as cost effectiveness. [4] Several studies highlighted a multitude of factors significantly contributing into a high degree of precision and task performance; which reflected on uneventful enhanced recovery programme. [5] There are various hand port devices of which the pros and cons for each port will be discussed in details. [6] Several studies; in particular, the author’s experimental studies confirmed that optimum safe insufflation pressure would be 10 mm Hg with no leak from the hand port and optimum dexterity and task performance. [7] Hand assisted laparoscopic surgery is a safe and efficient technique. It significantly enhances concept of Enhanced Recovery program. Raising public awareness can provide a high impact in enhancing live donor nephrectomy; hence reducing the inexorable Renal Transplant waiting list for patients with end stage renal disease.
