Summary

Single-port laparoscopic right hemicolectomy shows promising intermediate-term outcomes, with safety and efficacy comparable to conventional laparoscopic surgery. Further research is needed to confirm these findings in larger patient groups.

Background:

Single-port laparoscopic colectomy (SPLC) emerged in 2008 as a novel colorectal surgical technique.
Limited data exists on the intermediate- and long-term outcomes of SPLC.
This study presents intermediate results of the initial 20 single-port laparoscopic right hemicolectomies performed by a single surgeon.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the intermediate-term outcomes of single-port laparoscopic right hemicolectomy.
To assess the safety, efficacy, and oncological results of this minimally invasive approach.
To compare outcomes with conventional laparoscopic colectomy.

Main Methods:

Twenty consecutive patients underwent single-port laparoscopic right hemicolectomy between February 2009 and September 2010.

Exclusion criterion was prior midline laparotomy.

Patients were followed for a median of 27 months (range: 15–35 months).

Main Results:

The cohort had a mean age of 65 years, with 75% having significant comorbidities (ASA class III/IV).
Mean estimated blood loss was 25 mL, with 13 lymph nodes retrieved on average.
One conversion to hand-assisted, one to open colectomy; 30-day complications included wound infection and C. difficile colitis. No local recurrences or distant metastases were observed at follow-up. Two incisional hernias occurred.

Conclusions:

Single-port laparoscopic right hemicolectomy is a safe procedure for patients eligible for conventional laparoscopic colectomy.
Intermediate-term efficacy, safety, and oncological outcomes appear comparable to standard laparoscopic surgery.
Larger studies are required to fully ascertain cost-effectiveness, postoperative outcomes, and patient satisfaction.
