妊婦の急性虫垂炎に対する腹腔鏡下虫垂切除術（以下，LA）の報告は，本邦でも散見されるが，単孔式手術で施行された報告例は少ない．妊娠中に急性虫垂炎を発症し，単孔式腹腔鏡下虫垂切除術（以下，TANKO-LA）を施行した2症例を経験した．症例1は23歳・妊娠23週，症例2は33歳・妊娠15週で，腹痛を主訴に当院へ搬送となった．いずれも急性虫垂炎と診断し，緊急でTANKO-LAを施行した．術後経過は良好で，2症例とも正期産で自然分娩であった．妊婦に対するLAは低侵襲であるが，子宮への干渉を避けるため，ポート配置を工夫する必要がある．子宮底が臍高まで上がってきていない時期であれば，臍部からのみでアプローチするTANKO-LAが良い適応であると考えられた．

Background: Conventional Laparoscopic Appendectomy (CLA) is a minimum invasive operation for appendicitis patients. Single Incision Laparoscopic Appendectomy (SILA) is an operation with increasing interest to the surgeons because of the better cosmetic outcome. Using conventional instruments rather than special instruments to operate SILA can reduce treatment cost. SILA is more difficult than C...

The present study aimed to systematically evaluate the effectiveness of single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS), conventional laparoscopic appendectomy (CLA) and open appendectomy (OA) for the treatment of acute appendicitis. PubMed and Embase databases were systematically searched to identify relevant studies comparing the effectiveness of different appendectomy methods for treating acute ...

PURPOSE Conventional laparoscopic appendectomy is performed using three ports, and single-port appendectomy is an attractive alternative in order to improve cosmesis. The aim of this study was to compare pain after transumbilical single-port laparoscopic appendectomy (SA) with pain after conventional three-port laparoscopic appendectomy (TA). METHODS From April to September 2011, 50 consecuti...
