Single-Incision Laparoscopic Appendectomy and Dermoid Cyst Enucleation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a case report describing the outcome of an appendectomy and subsequent ovarian cyst enucleation using a single-incision laparoscopic approach in a 19-year-old patient. In an acute care setting, computed tomography of the abdomen demonstrated findings consistent with early acute appendicitis as well as a complex cystic mass on the right ovary. Pelvic ultrasonography revealed a right ovarian cystic lesion measuring 2.9 cm. There were no intraoperative complications. This case report demonstrates the feasibility of single-incision laparoscopy even when separate pathologic results are encountered and is, to our knowledge, the first report of the use of this technique for simultaneous appendectomy and dermoid cyst enucleation.
