Abstract

Background: The umbilical laparo-endoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) is to minimize the unnecessary trauma and achieve the combination of minimally invasion with cosmetic advantage for scarless surgery. We report in this paper a new technique of umbilical single port access (SPA) laparoscopic right hemicolectomy complying with conventional surgical oncologic principle and technique of minimally invasive colectomy in children.Methods: Preliminary experience with umbilical SPA right hemicolectomy in a 5-year-old child with chronic intussusception caused by ileocecal Burkitt lymphoma.Results: Umbilical SPA laparoscopic right hemicolectomy was performed successfully with conventional laparoscopic instruments. Operative time was 90 min and the volume of hemorrhage was 20 ml. No intraoperative and postoperative complications were recorded. Diet recovered at the fourth day after operation.Conclusion: With the plastic cannulas and semi-rigid flexible instruments, umbilical SPA laparoscopic right hemicolectomy can be performed successfully through the paraumbilical hidden incision for children colorectal disease, not only follow the traditional surgical principle but also achieve minimally invasive cosmetic results.
