Published: August 2012

Single-incisional laparoscopic surgery (SILS) has emerged as an attempt to further enhance the cosmetic benefits and reduce the morbidity of minimally invasive surgery. We present an approach of SILS adhesiolysis to adhesive strangulated ileus. A 70-year-old female patient, who had undergone laparoscopic low anterior resection 6 years before, underwent SILS adhesiolysis to a midline surgical incision wound adhesion site. The surgery was performed with only a 2.5-cm left-side transrectus incision using the SILS port. Laparoscopy revealed intestinal torsion and congestion with adhesion of the ileum to the previous surgical incision wound. SILS adhesiolysis was successfully carried out. The patient was discharged 4 days after surgery. SILS adhesiolysis is a feasible and efficient procedure in certain cases.

Aim Of The Study: Laparoscopic adhesiolysis in small bowel obstruction (SBO) is getting increasingly normal. In patients with multiple adhesive SBOs (MASBO), laparoscopic approaches might increase the risk of bowel injury due to the distended and potentially compromised small bowel. It remains a challenge to the surgeons, entails an interdisciplinary team, trying to achieve the least complications as possible.

: Laparoscopy is rapidly replacing laparotomy in the field of gynecologic surgery. Generally, there are limited data concerning the utility of single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) in gynecologic surgery. Specifically, in Saudi Arabia, a third-world country, data are further limited; only one related study has been conducted so far.

Background: Single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) is a feasible and safe procedure for colorectal cancer. However, SILS has some technical limitations such as collision between instruments and inadequate countertraction. We present a hybrid single-incision laparoscopic surgery (hybrid SILS) technique for colon cancer that involves use of one additional 5 mm trocar.

Introduction:: Gallstones are an etiological factor in 23%-54% of patients with acute pancreatitis. A small proportion of these patients will also have intestinal complications requiring necrosectomy with diverting loop ileostomy. Later, these patients require cholecystectomy and ileostomy reversal.

Introduction: Laparoscopic parastomal hernia repair with modified Sugarbaker technique has become increasingly the operation of choice because of its low recurrence rates. This study aimed to assess feasibility, safety, and efficiency of performing the same operation with single-incision laparoscopic surgery.

Materials And Methods: All patients referred from March 2010 to February 2013 were considered for single-port laparoscopic repair with modified Sugarbaker technique.
