Abstract
Laparoscopic-assisted excision of a solitary cecal ulcer that presented with right lower quadrant pain in a 61-year-old male is described. The patient benefited from complete surgical excision of his disease and he experienced a rapid postoperative recovery similar to that of other laparoscopic procedures, while foregoing the postoperative discomfort and morbidity associated with celiotomy. Excision of a complicated, benign cecal ulcer requires minimal bowel resection and is particularly amenable to laparoscopic assistance for minimally invasive access. For cecal ulcers requiring operative intervention, laparoscopy offers an alternative to open celiotomy.
