Laparoscopic surgery has played a significant role over the past 2 decades, allowing patients to undergo surgery with minimal scarring. However, some scars still develop, and reduced port surgery has been developed as a method of performing surgeries with fewer incisions and less scarring. In this regard, a study standardized the method of port insertion and elucidated the same through a patient case. A 47-year-old man who had been previously diagnosed with familial adenomatous polyposis underwent colonoscopy, which detected a cancer-like lesion among hundreds of polyps.
The pathological diagnosis of this lesion was well-differentiated adenocarcinoma with submucosal invasion. Preoperative stoma-site marking was made. Upon administration of general anesthesia, a 2 cm diameter skin resection was performed at the predetermined stoma site. Once the underlying adipose tissue resected, a…
