One-stage completely laparoscopic restorative proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis complicated with sigmoid colon cancer - a case report.

Recent advances in laparoscopic surgery have made it possible to perform restorative proctocolectomy (RP) for ulcerative colitis (UC) or familial adenomatous polyposis ( FAC). However, most of these procedures are performed as two-stage operations with the creation of diverting ileostomy. Furthermore, they are performed with a small abdominal incision from 4 to 8cm in length. We describe the first case of ulcerative colitis that underwent a single-stage completely laparoscopic restorative proctocolectomy without an abdominal incision. The patient also underwent lymph node dissection since he had a sigmoid colon cancer. The postoperative course was uneventful and the functional outcome was satisfactory. Considering the improved cosmetic as well as functional results achieved by this procedure, the present technology can be applied for selected patients, especially young UC or FAP patients needing RP who seek for a superior cosmetic result.[1]
