Novare Announces Completion of 100th Single Port Laparoscopic Procedure Using RealHand(R) High Dexterity (HD) Instruments
Date:12/18/2007

General Surgeons, Gynecologists and Urologists Have Performed 15 Different Types of Single Port Surgeries; Recent 'First-Ever' Procedures Include Single Port Nissen Fundoplication, Colectomy, Prostatectomy and Splenectomy
