Abstract
|
|
|
Single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) has become popular due to the advantage of minimizing surgical. We report on two cases of simultaneous appendectomy and cholecystectomy using a single-incision laparoscopic technique.
The patients were 49- and 50-year old females diagnosed with acute appendicitis with concomitant cholelithiasis. Body mass indices of the patients were 22.3 and 26.0. A 3 cm abdominal incision was made via the umbilicus, and a single port platform was created using a small wound retractor (ALEXIS® wound retractor S, Applied Medical, Santa Margarita, CA, USA) and a surgical glove. Cholecystectomy was performed first, followed by the appendectomy. The operation times were 165 and 280 minutes, and blood loss was 50 and 150 ㏄, respectively. The postoperative hospital stays were five and seven days, and one patient had a wound seroma as a surgical complication. W e believe that SILS for simultaneous appendectomy and cholecystectomy is a feasible and safe minimally invasive procedure
