We report our first case of single-incision laparoscopic hepatectomy in a 43-year-old woman with a 30-mm solitary combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma. A port of single-incision laparoscopic surgery was inserted through the abdominal wall using a 2.5-cm single incision in the umbilical area. To obtain adequate operative view for the tumor in segment 6, a 5-mm flexible endoscope, roticulated instruments, and a miniloop retractor were used. After precoagulation with a 5-mm flexible microwave probe, liver resection was performed using laparoscopic ultrasonic shears, soft-coagulation devices, and a tissue-sealing knife. Subsequently, cholecystectomy was carried out for a gallbladder polyp. The procedure was successfully completed without conversion to conventional laparoscopic technique. The operation time was 180 minutes and operative blood loss was uncountable. Transumbilical single-incision laparoscopic hepatectomy using precoagulation and clipless techniques is feasible and seems to provide better cosmetic appearance in selected cases by qualified endoscopic liver surgeons.

Division of Hepatobiliary and Transplantation Surgery, Department of General Surgery, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, Nanjing University, Nanjing, China.

Aim: To compare the short-term outcomes between SILC and TILC depending on gallstone size.

Material And Methods: Data from 114 patients with gallstones who underwent cholecystectomy hospitalized in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital between June 2022 and October 2023 were collected. The gallstone diameter, the operation time, estimated blood loss, post-operative pain, complications post-operation, and length of hospital stay were all collected and examined.

Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy has become the most popular weight loss surgery currently, but it inevitably leaves multiple small scars in the abdomen. Although the appearance of single-incision laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy achieve better cosmetic results, it may lead to postoperative complications such as umbilical hernia and umbilical infection. The author has developed a new surgical approach that can compensate for these deficiencies, which we called needlescopic laparoscope sleeve gastrectomy (NLSG).

Background: Malone antegrade continence enemas (MACE) are increasingly being used to manage severe constipation and fecal incontinence in children. Despite advances in minimally invasive pediatric colorectal surgery, single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) for MACE creation remains relatively unexplored. This study, featuring the largest cohort to date, evaluates the feasibility, safety, and clinical outcomes of SILS MACE creation in children.
