Transumbilical single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Abstract
Many laparoscopic surgeons have been attempting to reduce incisional morbidity and improve cosmetic outcomes by using fewer and smaller ports. We performed transumbilical single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy (TUSPLC) in 15 patients with cholelithiasis by using a special “single-port” with virtually no scar.
