Overview of Hand-Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery (HALS)

Hand-Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery (HALS) is a minimally invasive technique that combines laparoscopy with direct hand access. It allows the surgeon to insert one hand into the abdomen through a special device. This method improves control while maintaining the benefits of laparoscopy.

Hybrid Minimally Invasive Technique with Manual Assistance

HALS is performed under general anesthesia to ensure patient safety and comfort. A small incision is made to place a hand-access device that maintains abdominal insufflation. Additional small ports are inserted for the laparoscopic camera and instruments. The surgeon uses one hand inside the abdomen to assist with tissue handling and organ control. The laparoscopic camera provides magnified visualization during the procedure. This approach offers improved tactile feedback while reducing the need for large open incisions.

Clinical Indications for HALS Procedures

  • To perform complex abdominal procedures with better control
  • When standard laparoscopy is technically challenging
  • To reduce the need for full open surgery
  • To manage large organs or masses safely
