Objective: Using an ultra-mini-wound technique to dissect the adhesion surrounding the umbilicus port site aiding laparoscopic staging surgery for treating a woman with an early-stage endometrioid endometrial cancer (E-EC) who had widespread and extensive abdominal adhesions secondary to the previous complicated cesarean section (C/S) and bladder rupture.
Case Report: A 70-year-old woman with a history of a previous C/S and complicating bladder rupture treated with the Boari flap repair, leaving a longitudinal depressed scar over the abdomen from the umbilicus site to pubic hair area in her 30s was scheduled for laparoscopic staging surgery due to early-stage E-EC. We performed an ultra-mini midline incision (3-cm) crossing the umbilicus to manually dissect the adhesion surrounding the umbilicus and inserted the main trocar port to establish the workplace for further laparoscopic staging surgery.
