Abstract
  Single port access laparoscopic surgery is becoming a standard minimally invasive surgical technique for ovarian cyst, ectopic pregnancy, myoma uteri, and other benign pelvic diseases. We have primarily used a SILS™ port for this technique. However, it is difficult to extract a myoma from the abdominal cavity through the small incision at the umbilicus. More recently, we are choosing EZ-access. The parallel method, which is mainly used for complex operations such as total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) or laparoscopic myomectomy (LM), is easily implemented by it. When we have attempted LM using EZ-access, it is less difficult to extract the myoma from the abdominal cavity through the incision at the navel. We suggest EZ-access as a safe and speedy method of myoma extraction without disruption.
