Abstract
Introduction

Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) using transumbilical access and conventional laparoscopic instruments is a very attractive alternative to perform ureterolithotomy for ureteral stone with failed endourological management.

Material and method

A 29-year-old woman presented with chronic right lumbar pain and a 1.2 cm impacted calculus localized at transition of abdominal to pelvic ureter. Semirigid ureteroscopy had failed to fragment the stone and shockwave lithotripsy was not available. Double-J ureteral catheter had been inserted preoperatively. We performed a transumbilical single-incision laparoscopic ureterolithotomy. Three conventional trocars were inserted in a single semi-circular umbilical incision. Right colon was detached and the ureter was identified. Calculus was extracted and the ureteral incision was closed with intracorporal sutures.

Results

Ureterolithotomy was successfully completed, with all the operative steps performed transumbically. Operative time was 180 minutes. No single-port device or articulating and bent instruments were utilized. Estimated blood loss was less than 50 mL. No intraoperative, access-related and postoperative complications took place. The duration of hospitalization was 24 hours and scarless appearance was observed on postoperative day 15.

Conclusion

Transumbilical single-incision laparoscopic ureterolithotomy is feasible and safe. This approach offers an inherent cosmetic advantages and few postoperative discomfort. Additional experience and continued investigation are warranted.

Resumen
Introducción

La cirugía laparoendoscópica por puerto único (LESS) con incisión transumbilical empleando instrumental laparoscópico convencional es una alternativa atractiva para la realización de ureterolitotomía de cálculo ureteral con tratamiento endourológico fallido.

Materiales y métodos

Una mujer de 29 años se presenta con dolor crónico en la zona lumbar derecha y un cálculo impactado de 1,2 cm, localizado en el punto de transición del uréter abdominal al pélvico. Una ureteroscopia semirrígida no consigue fragmentar la piedra y no se dispone de litotricia por ondas de choque. Se inserta catéter ureteral doble J anteriormente a la intervención. Realizamos una ureterolitotomía laparoscópica con incisión única transumbilical. Se insertan tres trocares convencionales en una incisión umbilical semicircular, se desprende el colon derecho y se identifica el uréter. Se extrae el cálculo y la incisión ureteral se cierra con suturas intracorporales.

Resultados

Se completa con éxito la ureterolitotomía con todos los pasos operatorios realizados transumbilicalmente. La duración de la intervención fue de 180 minutos. No se empleó ningún instrumento articulado o arqueado. La pérdida de sangre estimada fue de menos de 50 ml. No hubo ninguna complicación interoperatoria o postoperatoria relacionada con la incisión. La estancia en el hospital fue de 24 horas y se observó un aspecto sin cicatriz el día 15 postoperatorio.

Conclusión

La ureterolitotomía laparoscópica con incisión única transumbilical es viable y segura. Este abordaje ofrece ventajas cosméticas inherentes y pocas molestias postoperatorias. Se requiere de experiencia adicional e investigación continuada.
