Transumbilical single-incision laparoscopic intracorporeal anastomosis for gastrojejunostomy: case report

Abstract

Transumbilical single-incision laparoscopic intracorporeal anastomoses are feasible using the endoscopic linear stapler. Transumbilical single-incision gastrojejunostomy for gastric outlet obstruction may improve cosmetic results and allow accelerated recovery for patients with limited survival. This anastomosis technique of single-incision laparoscopic surgery for other digestive tract procedures needs further evaluation.

Single-incision laparoscopic liver resection

“…To date, single-port-access surgery has been performed for various abdominal and extraabdominal surgical procedures [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][29][30][31][32]. In this report, we describe the first five single-port-access procedures for liver resections.…”

“…Various abdominal procedures have been performed already through single-port access, including appendectomy [12], cholecystectomy [13], gastrojejunostomy [14], splenectomy [15], sleeve gastrectomy [16,17], adjustable gastric band placement [18], and colonic surgery [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27].…”

Intracorporeal circular-stapled Billroth I anastomosis in single-incision laparoscopic distal gastrectomy

“…These advantages have encouraged surgeons and patients to apply this approach for various procedures, including cholecystectomy, appendectomy, bariatric surgery, partial gastrectomy for gastric GIST, and gastrojejunostomy for gastric outlet obstruction [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Recently, we reported the first case series of SILS distal gastrectomy for early gastric cancer (SILS-DG), suggesting that the procedure was technically feasible [7].…”

Transumbilical single-incision laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for early gastric cancer

“…The SILS procedure has been adopted for various abdominal surgical procedures such as cholecystectomy [3], appendectomy [4], colectomy [5,6], sleeve gastrectomy for morbid obesity [7], and gastrojejunostomy for patients with gastric outlet obstruction [8].…”
