[Two Cases of Single-Incision Laparoscopic Ileocecal Resection for Patients over 90 with Colon Cancer].

ABSTRACT

Single-incision laparoscopic surgery(SILS)is superior to multiport laparoscopic surgery in terms ofcosmetics, but in other terms it is still disputable and needs further investigation. The treatment of SILS for colon cancer has increased, however, the feasibility of single-incision laparoscopic colectomy(SILC)for patients over 90 with colon cancer has not been well examined. We report 2 cases ofsingle -incision laparoscopic ileocecal resection without complications. Case 1 A 104-year-old woman who had been diagnosed with pStage III a obstructive ascending colon cancer. There were no perioperative complications. She was discharged 15 days after the operation. During the 26 months of follow-up, there was no evidence oflocal recurrence or distant metastasis. Case 2 A 90-year-old woman who had been diagnosed with pStage I cecal cancer. There were no perioperative complications. She was discharged 10 days after the operation. Single-incision laparoscopic ileocecal resection for the aged patients is feasible when performed on patients selected by surgeons with extensive SILC experience.
