Trans-umbilical single-port radical nephrectomy with concomitant cholecystectomy.

OBJECTIVES Occasionally, the development of laparoscopic procedures allows the performance of combined surgeries. Currently, some of these can be carried out by trans-umbilical single-port laparoscopy. MATERIAL AND METHODS We report a patient with renal tumor of 4.5cm and cholelithiasis who undergone to trans-umbilical single port-right radical nephrectomy with concomitant cholecystectomy. This is the first case reported in Spain that this combined procedure is performed using umbilical single port surgery. RESULTS No complications (intra or postoperative) have been described in this case, achieving proper control of tumor pathology and an excellent cosmetic outcome. CONCLUSION In those cases in which multidisciplinary approach is required, surgery can be performed by trans-umbilical single-port laparoscopy as consequence of its reduced postoperative morbidity and better cosmetic results.
