Transumbilical single port laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a novel laparoscopic surgical technique for cholecystectomy
utilizing only a transumbilical incision, which eliminates any visible abdominal scars and improves cosmesis. As the true single
port laparoscopic technique, we presented an easy and feasible method for transumbilical laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
