Single-incision laparoscopic surgery for right hemicolectomy: two case reports

Abstract

Single incision procedures are evolving as part of minimally invasive surgery. In 2008, the SILS approach was first described for a right hemicolectomy. We report and describe the first two transumbilical single incision laparoscopic right hemicolectomies for benign disease, which were performed in Lithuania Vilnius University Hospital Santariskiu Klinikos.
