Objective To summarize the experience of single incision laparoscopic colorectal surgery and to discuss the operative techniques. Methods The clinical data of 21 cases who underwent single incision laparoscopic colorectal surgery in Shengjing Hospital from Jan. 2010 to Jun. 2011 were collected and analyzed. Results Of 21 cases underwent single incision laparoscopic surgery， right hemicolectomy performed in 5 cases， sigmoidectomy performed in 2 cases， rectal anterior resection performed in 9 cases， rectal abdominoperineal resection performed in 2 cases， total colectomy performed in 1 case， and colostomy performed in 2 cases. Twenty cases completed by single incision， but 1 case was added an extra 12 mm incision in order to dissect the lower segment of rectum. The operative time was （189±75） min （40-335min）；the postoperative hospitalization time was （11.5±3.4） d （7-16d）. There were no bleeding， anastomosis leakage or intestinal obstruction after operation， and no incision infection， rupture or hernia were founded. No recurrence was found within 6 months’ follow up after operation. Conclusions Under reasonable selection of indication， single incision laparoscopic colorectal surgery is safe and feasible， and it also has a satisfactory cosmetic effect and better minimally invasive effect.
ObjectiveTo summarize the procedure of transumbilical single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) with conventional laparoscopic instruments for different tumor diameter and different site of gastric stromal tumor. MethodThe clinical data, intraoperative procedure, and postoperative recovery of 34 patients with gastric stromal tumor from December 2009 to February 2014 in this hospital were analyzed retrospectively. ResultsThe transumbilical SILS was performed successfully in all the 34 patients.Among these patients, the wedge resection of stomach was perfor-med in 27 patients, distal subtotal gastrectomy was performed in 6 patients, distal subtotal gastrectomy complicated with multivisceral resection was performed in 1 patient.The pathology confirmed that the diameter of tumors was from 0.6 cm to 10.0 cm (average 3.4 cm).The resection margins were tumor free.The risk assessment showed that tumors with extremely low risk were in 9 cases, low risk were in 17 cases, intermediate risk were in 6 cases, high risk were in 2 cases.During surgery, 9 tumors were located on the fundus of stomach, 6 tumors on the gastric greater curvature, 7 tumors on the gastric lesser curvature, 2 tumors on the anterior and posterior wall of the stomach respectively, 3 tumors on the cardia below, 4 tumors on the gastric antrum, tumor invaded the surrounding organs in 1 case.There was no conversion to open or conventional laparoscopic surgery.no intraoperative or postoperative complications were experi-enced in all the patients except one was postoperative intraperitoneal bleeding and one was incision infection.All the patients were followed for an average of 25 months (range 3-49 months), there was no evident recurrence of disease. ConclusionsThe transumbilical SILS for gastric stromal tumor is a feasible and safe technique when performed by an experienced laparoscopic surgeon.The suitable procedure of SILS should be selected for gastric stromal tumor according their different size and location.
