Single-Incision Combined Laparoscopic Right Hemicolectomy and Cholecystectomy: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Minimally invasive surgery has transformed the management of complex procedures, offering reduced postoperative pain, faster recovery time, and improved cosmetic outcomes. Despite the growing use of minimally invasive techniques, literature specifically addressing single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) for combined hemicolectomy and cholecystectomy is limited. This report seeks to fill this gap by detailing the successful management of a patient case through a single-incision combined laparoscopic right hemicolectomy and cholecystectomy. A 66-year-old female was referred to surgical consultation following a routine screening colonoscopy that identified a greater than 5 cm sessile polyp in the ascending colon. A follow-up computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen and pelvis revealed a non-metastatic mass in the ascending colon and gallstones correlating with the patient's reported abdominal discomfort. The decision was made to proceed with a single-incision laparoscopic right hemicolectomy and cholecystectomy. The cholecystectomy and subsequent right hemicolectomy were both performed through a 3 cm umbilical incision using the advanced access platform. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with the patient passing flatus by day three, starting a clear liquid diet, and being discharged by day four. Pathological analysis of specimens revealed chronic cholecystitis with cholelithiasis and a tubulovillous adenoma of the colon without high-grade dysplasia or metastatic carcinoma. At the 15-day follow-up, the patient reported a full resumption of normal activities and was highly satisfied with the cosmetic results. This case report highlights the benefits of combining SILS right hemicolectomy and cholecystectomy through reducing multiple abdominal procedures, surgical trauma, operating time, and recovery period, all while achieving excellent cosmetic outcomes. Further research and advanced training in SILS combined procedures are needed for broader applicability in more complex cases.
