Area of Science:

  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Single-incision laparoscopic colectomy (SILC) is a novel approach to colorectal procedures.
  • Limited outcome data exist despite its promotion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To standardize SILC technique among experienced colorectal surgeons.
  • To prospectively collect operative details and patient outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Ten experienced surgeons performed SILC with minimal prior experience.
  • Ergonomics and operative conduct were compared to multi-port laparoscopic colectomy.
  • Patient demographics and outcomes were prospectively recorded.

Main Results:

  • 39 SILCs were performed for various pathologies in selected patients.

  • Conversions and additional ports were needed in some cases.
  • Certain aspects of SILC were rated significantly more difficult than multi-port approaches.

    • Conclusions:

    • SILC can be safely performed in selected patients by experienced surgeons.
    • Immediate benefits over multi-port laparoscopic colectomy are not evident.
    • A learning curve exists, and further advancements are needed for SILC equivalence.
