Summary
Trans-umbilical single-port laparoscopy enabled a combined surgery for kidney tumor and gallstones. This minimally invasive approach resulted in no complications and excellent cosmetic outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
- Surgical Oncology
- Gastrointestinal Surgery
Background:
- Laparoscopic techniques facilitate combined surgical procedures.
- Trans-umbilical single-port laparoscopy is an evolving minimally invasive approach.
Observation:
- A 4.5cm renal tumor and cholelithiasis were treated simultaneously.
- The procedure involved a trans-umbilical single-port right radical nephrectomy and cholecystectomy.
Findings:
- This combined surgery was successfully performed with no intraoperative or postoperative complications.
- Excellent oncological control of the renal tumor and superior cosmetic results were achieved.
Implications:
- Trans-umbilical single-port laparoscopy is a viable option for combined surgeries requiring a multidisciplinary approach.
- This technique offers reduced postoperative morbidity and improved aesthetic outcomes.
- Further research into single-port combined procedures can expand minimally invasive surgical options.
