Core Tip	Laparoscopic splenectomy has been recognized worldwide and has gradually replaced conventional laparotomy. It is the first choice of splenectomy for diseased spleens < 20 cm in diameter, especially for spleens with hematological diseases. Minimally invasive surgery has developed with the increasing demand for better cosmetic outcomes. For this reason, single-incision endoscopic techniques have emerged and become the latest research focus of minimally invasive surgery. In this report, we demonstrated our successful performance of transumbilical single-incision endoscopic cholecystectomy in 10 patients with benign lesions using conventional laparoscopic instruments.
