Single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) is a safe and effective treatment for appendicitis, demonstrating minimal pain and short hospital stays. This approach, performed through the navel, shows promise for future widespread surgical applications.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical innovation
  • Minimally invasive surgery
  • Gastrointestinal surgery

Context:

  • Appendicitis represents the most frequent abdominal surgical emergency.
  • Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS) aims to enhance laparoscopic surgery outcomes.
  • SILS utilizes a single transumbilical incision for surgical access.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of SILS for acute appendicitis.
  • To assess post-surgical pain and hospital stay associated with SILS appendectomy.
  • To determine the feasibility of SILS without conversion to conventional laparoscopy.

Summary:

  • 73 patients with suspected acute appendicitis underwent SILS between June 2009 and August 2010.
  • All procedures were performed by a single surgical team using only a transumbilical incision.

  • No conversions to conventional laparoscopy were required; mean surgical time was 40±14 minutes.

    • Impact:

    • SILS is a safe and effective appendectomy technique.
    • The mean post-surgical pain score was 3±1, with a mean hospital stay of 18±7 hours.
    • Experienced surgeons can safely introduce SILS, potentially expanding its use for common procedures.
    • This technique may reduce invasiveness and improve cosmetic outcomes for appendicitis treatment.
