Probably the most credible reason to embrace these appliances is that they may help to prevent the conversion of a laparoscopic to an open procedure. However, a 7-cm incision, suggested in the manuscript as being necessary to use the device, is suspect at best. Many surgeons would need a larger incision. With this in mind, some would argue that an open procedure using standard equipment could be performed without added expense.
