Conclusion The use of the manual semi-isolation specimen bag in the process of Transumbilical single port laparoscopy surgery Semi-isolation Specimen retrieval Leakage༛Benign ovarian tumors Figures Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5 Figure 6 Figure 7 Background Laparoscopic surgery is currently the main surgical approach for benign gynecological tumors [ 1 ] . With the continuous advancement of surgical equipment and techniques, single-incision laparoendoscopic surgery (SILS) has emerged. SILS involves placing surgical instruments through a single incision at the umbilicus to perform the surgery, resulting in minimal trauma and better cosmetic results. It is particularly suitable for patients seeking minimal scarring, including those undergoing benign ovarian tumor resection and uterine myomas removal [ 2 ] . However, single-incision laparoscopic surgery faces challenges such as the convenience of operation and tumour spillage, as well as issues like the instrument crowding, loss of triangulation, cylindrical field of view, and unstable surgical field[Uppal S, Frumovitz M, Escobar P, Ramirez PT. Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery in gynecology: review of literature and available technology. J Minim Invasive Gynecol. 2011; 18(1):12–23.]. In ovarian cystectomy, tumor rupture and tumor tissue leakage may occur due to the operational challenges, such as the instrument crowding and the loss of triangulation. The " tumor-free " principle, first proposed by Cole in 1954, has become a fundamental principle of oncologic surgery [ 3 ] . It involves a series of recommendations during tumor surgery to reduce and prevent the shedding, implantation, and dissemination of tumor cells [ 4 ] . Here, we report a self-prepared specimen bag for single-incision laparoscopic surgery, which addresses the challenges of single-incision laparoscopic surgery by facilitating specimen retrieval and semi-isolating the operating field. In this study, we retrospectively compared the clinical outcomes, time costs, and economic costs of single-incision laparoscopic surgery and conventional multi-port laparoscopic surgery for benign ovarian tumors treated at our institution from October 2022 to October 2023. Materials and Method 1. Material The self-designed specimen bag was patented in 2019 (patent number CN 211187374 U) and has been applied clinically. Ethical approval was obtained from the local ethics committee of the Liuzhou people’s Hospital, Liuzhou, Guangxi, China (KY2024-063-01), and informed consent was obtained. All protocols were conducted under the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. The manual specimen bag was prepared as follows: it was derived from the sterile packaging bag of a disinfection pad. After removing the disinfection pad, the packaging bag is retained and kept sterile, with dimensions of approximately 16cm×16cm. One end of the packaging bag is already closed, while the other end is folded outward by about 1-1.5cm to form a tunnel. A size 5 urinary catheter is then inserted and securely sutured to the tunnel using size 7 sutures. This creates a specimen retrieval bag that automatically expands upon use and is disposed of after single use, following medical waste disposal protocols. 2. Method Observation Group: A self-designed specimen bag was utilized in conjunction with single-incision laparoscopic surgery. A 2.5cm incision was made at the umbilicus, and the skin, fat, rectus sheath, and peritoneal layers were sequentially dissected to access the abdominal cavity. An integrated puncture pathway was inserted, and pneumoperitoneum was established to facilitate comprehensive exploration of the pelvic and abdominal cavities. The specimen bag was fabricated by nursing staff as described above. The specimen bag was inserted through the puncture pathway, and it was observed that the bag could spontaneously form a circular entrance in the abdominal cavity. Adhesions in the pelvic and abdominal cavities were separated, and the specimen bag was positioned at the uterorectal pouch with its opening facing upwards. The enlarged ovaries were placed inside the specimen bag, and tumor excision was performed within the bag. Complete excision was achieved in 28 cases, with tumor rupture occurring in 12 cases during excision, all of which were collected within the specimen bag without any spillage. The specimen bag, along with the tumor, was then retrieved intact from the umbilical incision without any ruptures or spillage. The puncture pathway was re-inserted to establish pneumoperitoneum, and hemostasis and closure of ovarian tissue were performed. The abdominal cavity was cleared, and the incision was closed. Control Group: Conventional multi-port laparoscopic surgery was performed. A 1cm incision was made at the umbilical circumference, and pneumoperitoneum was established using a Veress needle. Trocars were inserted through the umbilical ring, and two additional puncture points were made along the left subcostal line and the left iliac crest line (1/3 from the outer edge, 0.5-1cm in length). Ovarian tumor resection and suturing were performed using standard techniques. Specimens were placed in conventional specimen bags and retrieved through the lower left abdominal puncture hole. The abdominal cavity was cleared, and the incisions were closed. 3. Data Collection A retrospective collection of cases undergoing laparoscopic adnexal surgery at the People's Hospital of Liuzhou from October 2022 to October 2023. Preoperative assessment included detailed documentation of demographic characteristics (age, body mass index, history of pelvic surgery, type of delivery, and parity), Doppler ultrasound examination, serum CA-125 levels, and pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (when necessary). Past medical history, including previous cesarean section, appendectomy, or any pelvic surgical history, was recorded. Retrieve and record the following data from electronic medical records: maximum size (in centimeters), location, intraoperative and postoperative complications of ovarian tumors, total operation time, tumor excision time, time from excision to specimen retrieval, length of hospital stay, postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores, pain assessment, average cost, and postoperative morbidity. Total operation time is defined as the time from the first incision to the completion of closure of the last incision. Tumor excision time refers to the time from incision of the tumor capsule to complete excision of the tumor. The time from completion of tumor excision to complete retrieval of the specimen from the incision site is defined as the time from excision to specimen retrieval. Hospital stay is defined as the number of hours hospitalized after surgery. VAS scores are obtained at 12 hours and 24 hours postoperatively (with 1 indicating mild pain and 10 indicating severe pain). There is currently no authoritative definition for postoperative morbidity; typically, it refers to having a body temperature of 38°C or higher measured at least twice daily from the day after surgery until discharge. 4. Statistics SPSS 20.0 software was used for data analysis. Continuous data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (x ± s), and Student’s t-test was used for comparison. Categorical data were expressed as percentages, and the chi-square test was used for comparison. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Result A total of 75 patients were included in the final analysis, and demographic characteristics and baseline features were similar between the two groups. All patients underwent successful laparoscopic surgery without excessive intraoperative bleeding requiring transfusion (Table 1 ). The maximum diameters of tumors in the two groups were 11.5 cm (4.8 cm-11.5 cm) and 11 cm (4.5 cm-11 cm), respectively, with average sizes being similar (73.57 ± 18.34 cm vs. 77.23 ± 18.36 cm, P = 0.393). The majority of tumors were benign, with teratomas accounting for 57.14% (20/35) and 65.00% (26/40) in each group, respectively. Serous cyst adenomas accounted for 25.71% (9/35) and 17.50% (7/40), mucinous cystadenomas accounted for 8.57% (3/35) and 10.00% (4/40), other benign types accounted for 5.71% (2/35) and 5.00% (2/40), and borderline tumors accounted for 2.86% (1/35) and 2.50% (1/40), respectively. The average total operation time was similar (101.54 ± 32.16 min vs. 101.28 ± 18.46 min, P = 0.964). In the traditional multi-port laparoscopic surgery group, tumor excision time was shorter than in the single-incision surgery group (42.46 ± 12.77 min vs. 51.88 ± 13.06 min, P = 0.002). However, in the specimen retrieval phase, the manual specimen bag in the single-incision laparoscopic surgery group facilitated complete retrieval of specimens, and it took less time (25.98 ± 5.40 min vs. 36.66 ± 15.12 min, P = 0.000). During tumor excision, the majority of specimens were completely contained within the specimen bag without tissue leakage. Postoperative examination using a "leakage test" or "inflation test" confirmed the integrity of the specimen bag. There were no serious postoperative complications in either group. In the observation group, 2 cases (5.0%) of patients experienced redness and slight exudation at the abdominal incision site postoperatively, which improved after local wound care reinforcement, without requiring re-suturing for poor wound healing (Grade II). Both groups of patients did not require postoperative analgesic pumps, and pain (VAS) scores ranged from 3 to 5 (4.2 ± 1.6 vs. 3.9 ± 1.3, P = 0.881). There was no statistically significant difference in postoperative morbidity between the two groups, but no cases occurred in the observation group meanwhile 2 in the control group. (Table 2 ). The specimen bag used in the observation group only required a disposable urinary catheter, costing 2.6 RMB, while the commercial price of specimen bags ranged from 100 to 350 RMB [ 5 ] .

Additionally, the single-port incision typically ranges from 2.5 to 3 cm, allowing for easier and more complete specimen retrieval, particularly for solid components within ovarian tumors, such as skin, hair, and bony elements, which are less easily dissected tissues. This facilitates specimen retrieval through the umbilical incision, effectively saving surgical time. Single-port laparoscopic surgery presents specific challenges compared to traditional multi-port laparoscopic surgery, primarily related to maintaining pneumoperitoneum, adequate traction for exposure, instrument collisions, collisions between instruments and the camera, and limited maneuverability, necessitating a considerable learning curve for beginners [ 7 ] . In patients undergoing single-port laparoscopic ovarian tumor resection, the proportion of cyst rupture due to inexperienced operators may be slightly higher than in traditional laparoscopic surgery. Ovarian tumors are common tumors of the female reproductive organs. Due to their anatomical structure being relatively isolated from vital organs and structures, they have become one of the diseases early applied in single-port laparoscopy. Pathologically, benign ovarian tumors exhibit diverse types, with common pathological types including ovarian endometrioma, mature teratoma, serous cystadenoma, and mucinous cystadenoma. Ovarian endometrioma is characterized by invasive growth and a tendency for recurrence, while mucinous cystadenoma exhibits characteristics of implantation metastasis and recurrence. Improper intraoperative handling of these two types of benign ovarian tumors may lead to postoperative recurrence. Mature teratomas of the ovary typically contain abundant hair and adipose tissue, and improper intraoperative handling may lead to pelvic adhesions postoperatively. Before pathological confirmation, the possibility of malignant tumors cannot be completely ruled out [ 8 ] . In our clinical data, mature teratoma is the most common type of ovarian tumor encountered during laparoscopic surgery. Despite thorough preoperative assessments, borderline ovarian tumors discovered intraoperatively still account for a certain proportion. Therefore, tumor isolation should not be limited to the specimen retrieval phase but should extend throughout the entire surgical process. These challenges highlight the need to address the "no tumor left behind" principle during surgery. Kisu et al. reported the use of the Alexis Contained Extraction System for specimen collection in laparoscopic surgery, which allows for complete abdominal isolation during specimen retrieval, with a market price of approximately $ 40 [ 9 ] . Bao Huiqiong et al. reported the use of the TKBAG minimally invasive surgical tissue extraction device, which is inserted through the umbilicus for tissue separation and retrieval within the bag, with a market price of around 500 RMB [ 10 ] . Some articles have reported the use of latex gloves as specimen retrieval bags during surgery [ 11 , 12 ] . However, latex gloves havea certain degree of elastic recoil and may not maintain sufficient tension within the abdominal cavity to provide effective isolation. In this study, we propose a semi-isolation specimen bag marked with an opening, which is easy to unfold under laparoscopy. With a diameter of approximately 12 cm and a depth of around 12 cm, it can be used for surgeries involving ovarian tumors of about 10 cm in size. Under single-port laparoscopic surgery, pulling the opening can easily support and fix the bag under the tumor, and after tumor excision, the bag mouth can be easily gathered for retrieval. Our data show that although the tumor excision time is longer than that of traditional multi-port laparoscopic surgery, the time for specimen retrieval after tumor excision is significantly shortened when using the single-port laparoscopic approach combined with the specimen bag. Moreover, the overall duration of surgery is not prolonged. The use of this manual specimen bag significantly reduces tissue leakage, maintains a clean surgical field, and shortens the time required for rinsing the abdominal cavity, leading to a lower postoperative morbidity rate observed in our cases. Based on our practice, we summarize the advantages of the manual semi-isolation specimen retrieval bag under single-port laparoscopy as follows: 1. Combining the semi-isolation specimen retrieval bag with single-port laparoscopic surgery allows for intraoperative isolation of the surgical field before tumor dissection, enabling direct retrieval into the bag even if the tumor ruptures, with no cases of bag rupture observed. This reduces tissue fragmentation and fully embodies the principle of no tumor left behind; 2. Practicality: Easy to learn and use, conducive to promotion, with minimal additional cost of consumables, suitable for implementation in grassroots hospitals; 3. Aesthetic appeal: Fully utilizes the aesthetic advantages of single-port laparoscopy and minimally invasive techniques, without the need for additional access channels; 4. The use of this isolation bag reduces the tension of the operating physician, facilitates the training of young physicians, and effectively shortens the learning curve for single-port laparoscopy. The combination of single-port laparoscopy with this manual specimen bag shows promising applications and effective tumor defense for benign ovarian tumors < 12 cm in size. However, accommodating and extracting large specimens remains a major challenge.

With the continuous advancement of surgical equipment and techniques, single-incision laparoendoscopic surgery (SILS) has emerged. SILS involves placing surgical instruments through a single incision at the umbilicus to perform the surgery, resulting in minimal trauma and better cosmetic results. It is particularly suitable for patients seeking minimal scarring, including those undergoing benign ovarian tumor resection and uterine myomas removal\u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e. However, single-incision laparoscopic surgery faces challenges such as the convenience of operation and tumour spillage, as well as issues like the instrument crowding, loss of triangulation, cylindrical field of view, and unstable surgical field[Uppal S, Frumovitz M, Escobar P, Ramirez PT. Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery in gynecology: review of literature and available technology. J Minim Invasive Gynecol. 2011; 18(1):12\u0026ndash;23.]. In ovarian cystectomy, tumor rupture and tumor tissue leakage may occur due to the operational challenges, such as the instrument crowding and the loss of triangulation. The \" tumor-free \" principle, first proposed by Cole in 1954, has become a fundamental principle of oncologic surgery\u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e.

Ethical approval was obtained from the local ethics committee of the Liuzhou people\u0026rsquo;s Hospital, Liuzhou, Guangxi, China (KY2024-063-01), and informed consent was obtained. All protocols were conducted under the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe manual specimen bag was prepared as follows: it was derived from the sterile packaging bag of a disinfection pad. After removing the disinfection pad, the packaging bag is retained and kept sterile, with dimensions of approximately 16cm\u0026times;16cm. One end of the packaging bag is already closed, while the other end is folded outward by about 1-1.5cm to form a tunnel. A size 5 urinary catheter is then inserted and securely sutured to the tunnel using size 7 sutures. This creates a specimen retrieval bag that automatically expands upon use and is disposed of after single use, following medical waste disposal protocols.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2. Method\u003c/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eObservation Group: A self-designed specimen bag was utilized in conjunction with single-incision laparoscopic surgery. A 2.5cm incision was made at the umbilicus, and the skin, fat, rectus sheath, and peritoneal layers were sequentially dissected to access the abdominal cavity. An integrated puncture pathway was inserted, and pneumoperitoneum was established to facilitate comprehensive exploration of the pelvic and abdominal cavities. The specimen bag was fabricated by nursing staff as described above. The specimen bag was inserted through the puncture pathway, and it was observed that the bag could spontaneously form a circular entrance in the abdominal cavity. Adhesions in the pelvic and abdominal cavities were separated, and the specimen bag was positioned at the uterorectal pouch with its opening facing upwards. The enlarged ovaries were placed inside the specimen bag, and tumor excision was performed within the bag. Complete excision was achieved in 28 cases, with tumor rupture occurring in 12 cases during excision, all of which were collected within the specimen bag without any spillage. The specimen bag, along with the tumor, was then retrieved intact from the umbilical incision without any ruptures or spillage. The puncture pathway was re-inserted to establish pneumoperitoneum, and hemostasis and closure of ovarian tissue were performed. The abdominal cavity was cleared, and the incision was closed.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eControl Group: Conventional multi-port laparoscopic surgery was performed. A 1cm incision was made at the umbilical circumference, and pneumoperitoneum was established using a Veress needle. Trocars were inserted through the umbilical ring, and two additional puncture points were made along the left subcostal line and the left iliac crest line (1/3 from the outer edge, 0.5-1cm in length). Ovarian tumor resection and suturing were performed using standard techniques. Specimens were placed in conventional specimen bags and retrieved through the lower left abdominal puncture hole. The abdominal cavity was cleared, and the incisions were closed.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"Sec4\" class=\"Section2\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003e3.

Preoperative assessment included detailed documentation of demographic characteristics (age, body mass index, history of pelvic surgery, type of delivery, and parity), Doppler ultrasound examination, serum CA-125 levels, and pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (when necessary). Past medical history, including previous cesarean section, appendectomy, or any pelvic surgical history, was recorded.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRetrieve and record the following data from electronic medical records: maximum size (in centimeters), location, intraoperative and postoperative complications of ovarian tumors, total operation time, tumor excision time, time from excision to specimen retrieval, length of hospital stay, postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores, pain assessment, average cost, and postoperative morbidity. Total operation time is defined as the time from the first incision to the completion of closure of the last incision. Tumor excision time refers to the time from incision of the tumor capsule to complete excision of the tumor. The time from completion of tumor excision to complete retrieval of the specimen from the incision site is defined as the time from excision to specimen retrieval. Hospital stay is defined as the number of hours hospitalized after surgery. VAS scores are obtained at 12 hours and 24 hours postoperatively (with 1 indicating mild pain and 10 indicating severe pain). There is currently no authoritative definition for postoperative morbidity; typically, it refers to having a body temperature of 38\u0026deg;C or higher measured at least twice daily from the day after surgery until discharge.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"Sec5\" class=\"Section3\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003e4.

Additionally, the single-port incision typically ranges from 2.5 to 3 cm, allowing for easier and more complete specimen retrieval, particularly for solid components within ovarian tumors, such as skin, hair, and bony elements, which are less easily dissected tissues. This facilitates specimen retrieval through the umbilical incision, effectively saving surgical time. Single-port laparoscopic surgery presents specific challenges compared to traditional multi-port laparoscopic surgery, primarily related to maintaining pneumoperitoneum, adequate traction for exposure, instrument collisions, collisions between instruments and the camera, and limited maneuverability, necessitating a considerable learning curve for beginners\u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR7\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e7\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e. In patients undergoing single-port laparoscopic ovarian tumor resection, the proportion of cyst rupture due to inexperienced operators may be slightly higher than in traditional laparoscopic surgery.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOvarian tumors are common tumors of the female reproductive organs. Due to their anatomical structure being relatively isolated from vital organs and structures, they have become one of the diseases early applied in single-port laparoscopy. Pathologically, benign ovarian tumors exhibit diverse types, with common pathological types including ovarian endometrioma, mature teratoma, serous cystadenoma, and mucinous cystadenoma. Ovarian endometrioma is characterized by invasive growth and a tendency for recurrence, while mucinous cystadenoma exhibits characteristics of implantation metastasis and recurrence. Improper intraoperative handling of these two types of benign ovarian tumors may lead to postoperative recurrence. Mature teratomas of the ovary typically contain abundant hair and adipose tissue, and improper intraoperative handling may lead to pelvic adhesions postoperatively. Before pathological confirmation, the possibility of malignant tumors cannot be completely ruled out\u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR8\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e8\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e. In our clinical data, mature teratoma is the most common type of ovarian tumor encountered during laparoscopic surgery. Despite thorough preoperative assessments, borderline ovarian tumors discovered intraoperatively still account for a certain proportion. Therefore, tumor isolation should not be limited to the specimen retrieval phase but should extend throughout the entire surgical process. These challenges highlight the need to address the \"no tumor left behind\" principle during surgery.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKisu et al. reported the use of the Alexis Contained Extraction System for specimen collection in laparoscopic surgery, which allows for complete abdominal isolation during specimen retrieval, with a market price of approximately \u003cspan\u003e$\u003c/span\u003e40\u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR9\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e9\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e. Bao Huiqiong et al. reported the use of the TKBAG minimally invasive surgical tissue extraction device, which is inserted through the umbilicus for tissue separation and retrieval within the bag, with a market price of around 500 RMB\u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR10\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e10\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e. Some articles have reported the use of latex gloves as specimen retrieval bags during surgery\u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR11\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e11\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR12\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e12\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e. However, latex gloves havea certain degree of elastic recoil and may not maintain sufficient tension within the abdominal cavity to provide effective isolation. In this study, we propose a semi-isolation specimen bag marked with an opening, which is easy to unfold under laparoscopy. With a diameter of approximately 12 cm and a depth of around 12 cm, it can be used for surgeries involving ovarian tumors of about 10 cm in size. Under single-port laparoscopic surgery, pulling the opening can easily support and fix the bag under the tumor, and after tumor excision, the bag mouth can be easily gathered for retrieval. Our data show that although the tumor excision time is longer than that of traditional multi-port laparoscopic surgery, the time for specimen retrieval after tumor excision is significantly shortened when using the single-port laparoscopic approach combined with the specimen bag. Moreover, the overall duration of surgery is not prolonged. The use of this manual specimen bag significantly reduces tissue leakage, maintains a clean surgical field, and shortens the time required for rinsing the abdominal cavity, leading to a lower postoperative morbidity rate observed in our cases.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBased on our practice, we summarize the advantages of the manual semi-isolation specimen retrieval bag under single-port laparoscopy as follows: 1. Combining the semi-isolation specimen retrieval bag with single-port laparoscopic surgery allows for intraoperative isolation of the surgical field before tumor dissection, enabling direct retrieval into the bag even if the tumor ruptures, with no cases of bag rupture observed. This reduces tissue fragmentation and fully embodies the principle of no tumor left behind; 2. Practicality: Easy to learn and use, conducive to promotion, with minimal additional cost of consumables, suitable for implementation in grassroots hospitals; 3. Aesthetic appeal: Fully utilizes the aesthetic advantages of single-port laparoscopy and minimally invasive techniques, without the need for additional access channels; 4. The use of this isolation bag reduces the tension of the operating physician, facilitates the training of young physicians, and effectively shortens the learning curve for single-port laparoscopy.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe combination of single-port laparoscopy with this manual specimen bag shows promising applications and effective tumor defense for benign ovarian tumors\u0026thinsp;\u0026lt;\u0026thinsp;12 cm in size.

Among them, 40 cases were treated with transumbilical single-port laparoscopy combined with the manual semi-isolation specimen bag (study group), and 35 cases were treated with traditional multi-port laparoscopy (control group). The average total operation time, tumor resection time, time for specimen retrieval after tumor resection, and postoperative recovery were observed in both groups.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResults\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe two groups had similar baseline characteristics.
