title: [Single-port transumbilical laparoscopic cholecystectomy in an adult patient with congenital pulmonary hypoplasia: a case report].
abstract: Congenital pulmonary hypoplasia is a rare developmental abnormality of the lung with an incidence rate of around 1/5000 000. As a fatal condition associated with respiratory insufficiency after birth, this disease is rare in adults. We treated a 29-year-old female patient with congenital pulmonary hypoplasia and concurrent of cystic duct calculus in May, 2011 using single-port transumbilical laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which resulted in a good therapeutic effect comparable to that by routine laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
