Objectives:
Occasionally, the development of laparoscopic procedures allows the performance of combined surgeries. Currently, some of these can be carried out by trans-umbilical single-port laparoscopy.
Material And Methods:
We report a patient with renal tumor of 4.5cm and cholelithiasis who undergone to trans-umbilical single port-right radical nephrectomy with concomitant cholecystectomy. This is the first case reported in Spain that this combined procedure is performed using umbilical single port surgery.
Results:
No complications (intra or postoperative) have been described in this case, achieving proper control of tumor pathology and an excellent cosmetic outcome.
Conclusion:
In those cases in which multidisciplinary approach is required, surgery can be performed by trans-umbilical single-port laparoscopy as consequence of its reduced postoperative morbidity and better cosmetic results.
