Concomitant Umbilical Hernia Repair and Laparoscopic Surgery for Endometrial Cancer: A Case Report

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Adult umbilical hernia is relatively rare in Japan; however, a shift toward Western dietary habits has led to an increase in the prevalence of this condition. A 51-year-old nulliparous woman with a history of endometrial cancer stage IA concomitant with umbilical hernia underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy accompanied by suture repair of the umbilical hernia. Intraoperatively, we created a deep longitudinal umbilical depression and performed umbilicoplasty using the novel “Kajikawa method.” No complications or recurrence have occurred 2 years postoperatively.
