Background:
Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) is emerging as an alternative technique to conventional laparoscopy for the treatment of common surgical diseases.
Case:
We report a case of a 13-year-old female with self-limited abdominal pain. Imaging studies showed a right ovarian mass with features of a dermoid cyst and an appendicolith within the appendix without signs of acute appendicitis. She underwent concomitant LESS ovarian cystectomy and appendectomy without any complications.
Summary And Conclusion:
LESS is feasible with standard laparoscopic instruments. It is a safe technique with excellent cosmetic results and minimal postoperative pain.
