Scarless transumbilical single-incision laparoscopic cholecystojejunostomy is a feasible surgical option for unresectable peri-ampullary cancer. This minimally invasive technique uses standard laparoscopic instruments, offering a potential alternative for improving patient quality of life.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Unresectable peri-ampullary cancer management aims to optimize patient quality of life.
  • Palliative surgical interventions are crucial for symptom relief and improved outcomes.
  • Choledochojejunostomy is a common palliative procedure for biliary obstruction.

Observation:

  • Two patients with unresectable peri-ampullary cancer underwent transumbilical single-incision laparoscopic cholecystojejunostomy.
  • The procedure utilized conventional laparoscopic instruments through a single 2-cm umbilical incision.
  • Both hepatocystic junctions were confirmed patent preoperatively.

Findings:

  • Procedures were completed successfully with operative times of 190 and 155 minutes.

  • Minimal blood loss (80 ml and 20 ml) and low postoperative pain scores (4/10 and 3/10) were observed.
  • Patients were discharged on postoperative days 3 and 5 with resolving jaundice.

    • Implications:

    • Transumbilical single-incision laparoscopic cholecystojejunostomy is a technically feasible approach.
    • This technique offers a scarless, minimally invasive alternative to standard laparoscopic procedures.
    • Conventional instruments can be effectively used, potentially reducing equipment costs and complexity.
