Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) offers better cosmetic results and less pain compared to three-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy (TPLC). This gallbladder surgery is safe and feasible for selected patients.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Outcomes
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a standard procedure for symptomatic benign gallbladder diseases.
  • Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) has emerged as an alternative technique.
  • Comparing SILC with conventional multi-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy is crucial for understanding its clinical utility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the clinical outcomes of single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) and three-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy (TPLC).
  • To evaluate differences in postoperative pain, complications, and cosmetic results between SILC and TPLC.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized controlled trial involving 102 patients with symptomatic benign gallbladder diseases.

  • Patients were randomized to either SILC (n=49) or TPLC (n=53).
  • Primary endpoint was postoperative pain score; secondary endpoints included blood loss, operation duration, complications, analgesic requirements, hospital stay, cosmetic result, and cost.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant differences were observed in blood loss, operation duration, overall complications, total cost, or hospital stay between SILC and TPLC.
    • Patients undergoing TPLC reported significantly higher pain scores at 8 hours post-surgery compared to SILC.
    • Cosmetic satisfaction at 2-month follow-up was significantly better in the SILC group.

    Conclusions:

    • Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) is a safe and feasible surgical approach for selected patients.
    • SILC offers advantages over TPLC, including improved cosmetic outcomes and reduced postoperative pain.
    • Further research may explore long-term outcomes and broader applicability of SILC.
