The single‐port platform is a recent innovation in minimally invasive surgery. This platform may represent the next step forward in minimally invasive techniques. Early reports in the veterinary literature have shown this access method as a feasible and potentially more attractive approach for many common veterinary procedures. The focus of all new surgical techniques should be feasibility, safety, and efficacy, and they should provide a clinical advantage over other existing methods. Further studies are needed to determine if this platform for surgery can be considered a comparable alternative to multiport laparoscopy. Continually pursuing these types of research initiatives will help to drive emerging minimally invasive techniques and technology that ultimately benefits both human and veterinary patients alike.
