    Author: Cai J, Zhang ZT, Sun J, Yu H, Wang J, Jin L, Wang K.
    Journal: Surg Innov; 2011 Jun; 18(2):189-92. PubMed ID: 21521702.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Transumbilical single-incision laparoscopic surgery (TUSILS) has emerged as an advanced technique for minimally invasive surgery. Recently, the authors performed TUSIL resection of the ileocecal junction for benign lesions. METHODS: The authors report the surgical technique and clinical effect of TUSIL resection of the ileocecal junction in 2 patients. RESULTS: The 2 operations were completely successful with satisfactory and scarless recovery. No postoperative complications occurred. CONCLUSIONS: TUSIL resection of the ileocecal junction was feasible and safe in the 2 patients and might lead to an expansion of the indications for TUSILS.
