title: Single-incision laparoscopic surgery using a homemade transumbilical port for synchronous colon and hepatic lesions: a case report.
abstract: Single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) is an emerging technique and has been utilized in various abdominal surgeries. Herein, we reported a case of synchronous colon and hepatic lesions that underwent right hemicolectomy and wedge resection of the liver by SILS. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of synchronous colon and liver resection with SILS using homemade transumbilical port.
