Single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) using standard instruments is feasible and safe for symptomatic cholelithiasis. This minimally invasive gallbladder removal technique shows promising results in operative time and patient satisfaction.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the standard treatment for symptomatic cholelithiasis.
  • Single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) aims to reduce surgical trauma and improve cosmetic outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and safety of SILC using conventional surgical instruments.
  • To assess operative outcomes, complications, pain, and cosmetic satisfaction in SILC patients.

Main Methods:

  • Twenty patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis underwent SILC using conventional instruments.
  • Data collected included operative time, length of stay, complications, pain scores, and cosmetic satisfaction.

Main Results:

  • All 20 SILC procedures were completed successfully without additional incisions.

  • Mean operative time was 69 minutes, with a trend toward reduction with experience.
  • Three cases of intraoperative bile leakage due to gallbladder rupture occurred; no postoperative complications were recorded.
  • Median postoperative pain was 3 (visual analogue scale), and median cosmetic satisfaction was 3.
  • Mean postoperative length of stay was 1.3 days.

    • Conclusions:

    • SILC with conventional instruments is a feasible and safe approach for gallbladder removal.
    • Further research with larger patient cohorts is necessary to validate these findings.
