Abstract
Omental adhesions to the anterior abdominal wall are a common complication of abdominal surgery. Specific adhesions to the back of the umbilicus represent a challenge for safe laparoscopic access. In this case report, we describe a simplified two-port laparoscopic access procedure for retro-umbilical adhesiolysis. We concluded that successful adhesiolysis of retro-umbilical adhesions using the sequential Darwish and Lee-Haung points is feasible, and this procedure is a safe, minimally invasive alternative to the primary laparoscopic approach.
