A 67-year-old woman was referred to our department for assessment of a tumor in the right lower abdomen. Advanced cecal cancer invading the urinary bladder was diagnosed, and laparoscopy assisted colorectal surgery (LACS)-hybrid 2-port hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS) was performed in February 2008. Intraoperative laparoscopic observation revealed direct invasion of the urinary bladder by the primary tumor, so an approximately 6-cm transverse suprapubic incision was made. Under direct vision through this incision, full-thickness partial cystectomy was performed to remove the tumor invading the bladder. Then D3 right hemicolectomy was performed under pneumoperitoneum. In this patient with advanced cecal cancer invading the bladder, we performed radical curative surgery by hybrid 2-port HALS, a minimally invasive procedure in which a 6-cm incision was made in addition to the hand access site and favorable results were obtained.
