title: Laparoendoscopic single-site ovarian cystectomy and concomitant appendectomy in an adolescent.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) is emerging as an alternative technique to conventional laparoscopy for the treatment of common surgical diseases.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report a case of a 13-year-old female with self-limited abdominal pain. Imaging studies showed a right ovarian mass with features of a dermoid cyst and an appendicolith within the appendix without signs of acute appendicitis. She underwent concomitant LESS ovarian cystectomy and appendectomy without any complications.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  LESS is feasible with standard laparoscopic instruments. It is a safe technique with excellent cosmetic results and minimal postoperative pain.
