laparoscopic surgery is now an integral part of the operative repertoire. single-incision laparoscopic surgery (sils) is a new technique developed for performing operations without a visible scar. pneumoperitoneum, as a necessary precondition of laparoscopic procedures, represents the restriction of the surgeon's freedom of movement and can lead to rare but typical complications. the single inc...

PURPOSE Nonoperative management followed by an interval appendectomy is a commonly used approach for treating patients with perforated appendicitis with abscess formation. As minimally-invasive surgery has developed, single-port laparoscopic surgery (SPLS) is increasingly being used to treat many conditions. We report our initial experience with this procedure using a multichannel single-port. ...

RATIONALE The main complication of patients with severe hemophilia is recurrent bleeding events that usually affected musculoskeletal contractures. And replacement therapy methods were continuously improved to minimize adverse impacts brought by those complications. However, only several cases reported about the appendectomy for hemophilia A. We report a case of acute appendicitis treated by tw...

Acute appendicitis is the one of the most common conditions requiring surgical intervention, and an appendiceal abscess or phlegmon has an incidence rate of about 3.8% among patients with a perforated appendicitis [1]. An immediate appendectomy for the treatment of a periappendiceal abscess (PAA) or phlegmon is technically demanding with adhesive loops of the bowel and a distorted anatomy, and ...

Regarding abdominal surgery, many reports of the usefulness of single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) for appendectomy, cholecystectomy, and inguinal hernioplasty have been published.1) Furthermore, many papers on urology and gynecology citing examples of SILS have been published.2,3) In contrast, in the case of singleport (or incision) thoracoscopic surgery, the technological gap is obvio...
