Abstract:

Laparoscopic surgery for colorectal disease has been shown to improve postoperative healing compared with open surgery. Specifically, studies suggest that laparoscopic techniques can reduce postoperative pain and recovery time, reduce the need for postoperative analgesia, and allow a more rapid return to normal activities compared with open surgery. A series of cases have been reported in the literature concerning the success rate of single-incision laparoscopic colectomy used in the treatment of benign or malign colorectal disease. A 38-year-old female patient having chronic cramping abdominal pain, who\'s descending colon included a giant lipoma causing intussusceptions. Lipoma was detected by colonoscopy, the histological examination revealed lipoma and then was operated with single port laparoscopic left colectomy in elective conditions. No intraoperative and postoperative complications occurred. The operation time was 105 minutes. The wound size was 2.5 cm. The patient was discharged uneventfully on postoperative day four.
