Abstract

AIMS: The single incision laparoscopic technique is an emerging modality. The aim of our study was to compare the intra-operative and short term post-operative outcomes of single incision versus multi-incision laparoscopy for right hemicolectomy.

METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of all patients who underwent right hemicolectomy from October 2010 till December 2012.

RESULTS: Thirty six patients underwent laparoscopic right hemicolectomy, of which, twenty five were performed with the traditional multi-incision technique and eleven were conducted with a single incision. From the parameters that were evaluated, we found that in the single incision technique there was a statistical trend [p=0.08] of better oncological results with a higher mean lymph node extraction. In addition, there was a statistically significant [p=0.05] advantage of decreased length of hospitalization.

CONCLUSIONS: The single incision technique is feasible and safe for right hemicolectomy. Given our findings, we believe that it can be an effective alternative to the traditional multi-port technique.
