Single-port access right laparoscopic hemicolectomy for colon cancerA new laparoscopic technique allows a peritoneal access through a single umbilical port with less abdominal wall trauma and pain. We report a 64 years old male with a right colon adenocarcinoma, detected during a routine colonoscopy. The patient was subjected to a right laparoscopic hemicolectomy through a single SILS ® Multiple Instrument Access Port, that can accommodate up to three instruments introduced through a 3 cm paraumbilical incision. The surgical procedure was uneventful and the patient had a good postoperative evolution. The pathological study of the surgical piece confirmed the presence of an adenocarcinoma with invasion of the submucosa and without lymph node involvement.Key words: Single port, laparoscopic surgery, hemicolectomy. ResumenLa tendencia a una menor invasión en el acto quirúrgico ha sido un objetivo desde los inicios de la cirugía y en la actualidad se buscan continuamente caminos que cumplan este principio. En el último año han surgido publicaciones de una nueva técnica laparoscópica a través de un acceso umbilical único que permitiría disminuir el trauma de la pared abdominal, el dolor postoperatorio y además, mejorar el resultado cosmético. El objetivo de este reporte es dar a conocer nuestra experiencia con la primera hemicolectomía derecha laparoscópica (HCDL) reportada a través de un puerto único para una neoplasia maligna de colon. Se trata de un paciente con un adenocarcinoma cecal originado en un pólipo (< 2 cm) abordado por vía laparoscópica introduciendo el puerto único SILS (SILS™ Port, Covidien, Autosuture) con lugar para trabajar con 3 trócares a través de una incisión paraumbilical de 3 cm, por la cual se realizó toda la disección y extracción de la pieza operatoria. La cirugía se llevó a cabo sin incidentes, respetando todos los principios oncológicos y el paciente evolucionó en forma satisfactoria. La pieza operatoria confirmó un adenocarcinoma con invasión de submucosa (SM3) sin metástasis en 30 ganglios examinados. Se concluye que la realización de una HCDL con puerto único es factible y pudiera ser segura desde el punto de vista oncológico. Tiene ventajas cosméticas evidentes y además podría disminuir la morbilidad de la pared abdominal, los costos totales quirúrgicos y eventualmente las tasas de conversión.Palabras clave: Hemicolectomía derecha, laparoscopía, un puerto.
Satisfaction survey of patients after hemorrhoid surgery using the procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) technique Background: Hemorrhoidal disease is very common and approximately 10% of the patients require surgery. Within the different surgical techniques, the Longo procedure or PPH (procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids) has gained importance. Aim: To evaluate the patients' perception of PPH hemorrhoidectomy in a medium term follow-up. Material and Methods: All patients undergoing PPH hemorrhoidectomy between January 2007 and January 2009 were identifi ed. A survey was designed to assess the presence of specifi c symptoms before and after surgery, and applied to all patients. Results: Fifty-seven patients completed the survey, with a follow-up ranging from 8 to 31 months. Ninety-four percent of patients referred improvement of bleeding, 85% of hemorrhoidal prolapse and 68% of soiling after the intervention. On a scale of 1 to 7, 88% of patients rated the procedure with a score over 5, and 87% would recommend the use of this technique to other patients suffering from the disease. Conclusions: Most patients favorably assess PPH hemorrhoidectomy in terms of postoperative resolution of the symptoms, functional status and overall satisfaction in a medium-term follow-up.
