Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery
Single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) or Single Incision Gastrectomy is an advanced, minimally invasive (keyhole) procedure in which the surgeon operates almost exclusively through a single entry point, typically the patient’s umbilicus (navel). Special articulating instruments and access ports are used to enter into the abdomen.
SILS has been commonly used for:
- cholecystectomy
- weight-loss surgery for both sleeve gastrectomy
Advantages:
- Less recovery time
- Less incisional pain
- Single, virtual scar less incision through the belly button
- Reduced postoperative pain
Less invasive because surgery is done laparoscopic.
