Core Tip
Core tip: The optimal surgical therapy for low-grade appendiceal neoplasm is controversial. Due to the risk of pseudomyxoma peritonei, complete resection without rupture is necessary. We performed single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS), which is reported to be a reduced port surgery associated with decreased invasiveness and patient stress compared with conventional laparoscopic surgery. We are confident that SILS is a feasible alternative to traditional surgical procedures for borderline tumors, such as low-grade appendiceal neoplasms.
