Further

Further this studies need to analyse if this intracorporeal anastomosis is more cost effective than the extracorporeal ones. This type of anastomosis has already been described for standard laparoscopic right hemicolectomy in the literature by Bergamaschi et al. [19]. More recently, Bucher et al. [20] have also described an intracorporeal anastomosis in a report of a single-port access gastrojejunostomy, but an additional trocar was added to perform the anastomosis, closing the orifice left by the endostappler with a new special device. However, we defend the use of a running suture to close this orifice, the endostitch being very useful for such purpose as it allows to perform the suture with few wrist movements, avoiding interferences with the scope, since a standard needle holder requires more wrist movements.

From a technical point of view, the use of a flexible grasper with the left hand is also important as it allows the exposition of the operation field. However, using straight instruments with the right hand requires a 30�� scope to obtain a correct visualization of the tip of them. On the other hand, the suture through the mesentery allows the exposition of the operation field, specially the ileocecal pedicle, replacing standard assistant trocars needed during this procedure. On the other hand, the use of drain in right colonic resection has been demonstrated not to be necessary, which increases patient satisfaction and decreases postoperative pain. We have moved from the use of drain in our first 3 cases to avoid them.

In fact the drain was the cause of one of the reoperations, since it entraps the ileum producing a bowel occlusion. The use of a transumbilical incision, better than a periumbilical one, has increased the cosmetic results of our series. 5. Conclusion Single-port access right hemicolectomy follows the basic principles of conventional right hemicolectomy in term of morbidity and oncological results, although longer followup is necessary to determine the survival. This technique with intracorporeal anastomosis is a safe and feasible approach when performed by experienced laparoscopic surgeons, offering more potential advantages than the extracorporeal anastomosis. The use of transumbilical incision and avoiding additional trocars and drains could increase patient’s satisfaction, since it could reduce pain and increase cosmetic results.

Nevertheless, further series and prospective studies must be conducted to prove the effectiveness of this technique in relation to less postoperative pain and less abdominal wall complications while Brefeldin_A preserving the same oncological results.
Recent advances in equipment and surgical techniques have made minimally invasive surgery (MIS) a well-tolerated and efficient technique in several fields of surgery.
