Summary
Simultaneous laparoscopic cholecystectomy and hysteroadnexectomy were performed in one patient. This minimally invasive approach, utilizing colpotomic access for gallbladder removal, offers a new perspective for treating complex gynecological and gallbladder conditions.
Area of Science:
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
- Gynecologic Surgery
- Gastrointestinal Surgery
Background:
- Laparoscopy and thoracoscopy are increasingly used for simultaneous surgical procedures.
- Indications for combined endoscopic surgeries are expanding.
Observation:
- A 51-year-old woman underwent simultaneous laparoscopic cholecystectomy and celioscopically assisted vaginal hysteroadnexectomy.
- Conditions treated included hydropic calculous gallbladder, uterine myomas, and bilateral ovarian polycystosis.
Findings:
- The combined procedure was performed using six abdominal trocar sites.
- Gallbladder removal was achieved through colpotomic access.
- The patient experienced an uncomplicated recovery and was discharged on postoperative day 5.
Implications:
- This multidisciplinary laparoscopic approach demonstrates an effective, minimally invasive treatment method.
- The technique offers new perspectives on indications and treatment for similar complex cases.
- Original technical solutions enhance the feasibility of combined endoscopic surgeries.
