Summary

Single-incision multiport laparoscopic cholecystectomy is feasible in selected patients. Surgeons should consider conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy or additional retraction for patients with higher BMI or acute cholecystitis.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Single-incision multiport laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILS-LC) offers potential cosmetic benefits.
  • Initial experiences with SILS-LC are crucial for understanding its outcomes and limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the initial clinical outcomes of single-incision multiport laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
  • To identify factors influencing conversion rates and complications in SILS-LC.

Main Methods:

  • A nonrandomized prospective study involving 64 patients with gallstones or gallbladder polyps.
  • Exclusion criteria included acute cholecystitis, choledocholithiasis, prior abdominal surgery, and suspected gallbladder cancer.
  • Outcomes and complications were analyzed, comparing SILS-LC with converted conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Main Results:

  • 2 bile duct injuries and 4 surgical site infections occurred.
  • Visualization of Calot's triangle was challenging in 22 patients, associated with higher inflammatory markers, longer operation times, and bile spillage.
  • 10 patients were converted to conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy, with older age and higher BMI being significant factors.

Conclusions:

  • Experienced surgeons can safely perform SILS-LC in selected patients using specialized instruments.
  • Conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy or additional retraction devices are recommended for patients with higher BMI or acute cholecystitis.
