The Gastrointestinal Surgery Department of Guanggu Branch of Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine used the minimally invasive and seamless single-port laparoscopic technique to relieve her pain “without leaving scars on her belly”.
19-year-old Xiaoqi, a college student in Wuhan University, was admitted to the Gastrointestinal Department of Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine due to acute appendicitis. Due to the emergency, the appendix needs to be surgically removed, but Xiao Qi, who loves beauty, is afraid that the operation will leave unsightly scars.
Considering the concerns of patients, Yan Ruicheng, director of gastrointestinal surgery, introduced the single-port laparoscopic surgery to Xiaoqi, “Only through a minimally invasive hole in the umbilical recess, the appendix can be removed, and the surgery can be achieved. There will be no scars afterward.” Xiao Qi dispelled her doubts and agreed to the operation. After a complete preoperative examination, Yan Ruicheng’s team performed a single-port laparoscopic appendectomy for Xiaoqi. Xiaoqi was able to get out of bed 4 hours after the operation and was discharged from the hospital three days after the operation. Xiaoqi sighed ” It feels like no surgery!”

In addition to appendix surgery, the Gastrointestinal Department of Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine also carried out single-port laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. This is a novel surgical approach for the treatment of obesity and metabolic diseases, which can improve long-term obesity and type 2 diabetes. “Through a minimally invasive method, the volume of the digestive tract and the path of the digestive tract can be changed, thereby changing the patient’s food intake and food absorption, so as to achieve the purpose of weight loss and endocrine regulation.” Yan Ruicheng introduced.
Ms. Zhou, 38, had the surgery 3 months ago. Ms. Zhou, who recovered smoothly, said, “Director Yan Ruicheng’s superb surgery not only allowed me to recover quickly after the operation, but also concealed the surgical incision, so that others could see that I was ‘secretly’ losing weight!”

Yan Ruicheng said that transumbilical single-port laparoscopic surgery is one of the cutting-edge minimally invasive techniques. During the operation, surgical instruments enter the abdominal cavity through a small incision in the umbilicus, and the natural depression of the umbilicus can be used to cover the surgery. The effect of the incision also has the characteristics of minimally invasive, beautiful, and quick postoperative recovery. At present, the Gastrointestinal Department of Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine can perform single-port laparoscopic surgery for acute appendicitis, inguinal hernia, obesity with type 2 diabetes, benign and malignant tumors of the gastrointestinal tract and other diseases.
