Transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site surgery versus conventional laparoscopic surgery for patients with symptomatic urachal remnants: an experience with 57 patients.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:To evaluate the surgical feasibility and postoperative cosmesis of a novel transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) surgical approach involving Y-shaped incisions and three-flap umbilicoplasty in urachal remnant patients. METHODS:Patients with symptomatic urachal remnants who underwent either conventional laparoscopic surgery (CL group, n = 21) or LESS surgery with Y-shaped incisions and three-flap umbilicoplasty (LESS group, n = 36) between May 2010 and September 2019 were retrospectively assessed. Perioperative factors and postoperative esthetic outcomes were compared between the groups using univariate and multivariate analyses. Esthetic outcomes were assessed using the body image questionnaire consisting of the body image scale (BIS) and the cosmetic scale (CS); a higher score indicated a better outcome. RESULTS:The median operative time was greater and the insufflation time was shorter in the LESS group than in the CL group. The estimated blood loss and postoperative hospital stay and surgical site infection rate did not differ significantly between the groups. While the BIS score also did not differ significantly between the groups, the CS score was greater in the LESS group than in the CL group. Multivariate analysis revealed that the surgery type (LESS surgery) was an independent predictor of greater postoperative esthetic satisfaction. CONCLUSION:Transumbilical LESS surgery with Y-shaped incisions and subsequent three-flap umbilicoplasty is feasible in patients with symptomatic urachal remnants. Regarding postoperative cosmesis, the higher CS score suggests that this technique is superior to CL surgery. Furthermore, the selection of this procedure was an independent predictor of good postoperative esthetic outcomes.
