%X laparoendoscopic single site surgery (less) and natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (notes) represent novel approaches in urological surgery. to perform a review of the literature in order describe the current status of less and notes in urology. references for this manuscript were obtained by performing a review of the available literature in pubmed from 01-01-02 to 15-05-09. search terms included single port, single site, notes, less and single incision. a total of 412 manuscripts were initially identified. out of these, 64 manuscripts were selected based in their urological content. the manuscript features subheadings for experimental and clinical studies, as notes-less is a new surgical technique and its future evolution will probably rely in initial verified feasibility. a subheading for reviews presents information regarding common language and consensus for the techniques. the issue of complications published in clinical series and the future needs of notes-less, are also presented.
