Extraumbilical Single-Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy with Standard Laparoscopic Instruments

Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy with Conventional Instruments

INTRODUCTION: As in the modern era of laparoscopic surgery the moving trend has been towards performing less and less invasive techniques. Single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) is a simple and reliable technique in selected cases and with experience hands in advanced laparoscopic surgery. The greatest advantage of this technique is cosmesis and less post-operative pain. AIMS &OBJE...

Cost Assessment of Instruments for Single-Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Specially designed surgical instruments have been developed for single-incision laparoscopic surgery, but high instrument costs may impede the implementation of these procedures. The aim of this study was to compare the cost of operative implements used for elective cholecystectomy performed as conventional laparoscopic 4-port cholecystectomy or as single-incision lapa...

Robotic single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Single-port laparoscopy attempts to further reduce the surgical impact of minimally invasive surgery when compared to conventional laparoscopy [1–4]. Single-port laparoscopy might in general result in enhanced cosmetic outcomes and potentially reduced pain when compared to the conventional multi-port technique [5–8]. While manual single-port laparoscopy comes with certain technical limitations ...

Single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy using Konyang Standard Method

PURPOSE Single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) is a minimally invasive surgery that is growing rapidly among surgical procedures. However, there is no standard method for SILC. Therefore, we evaluated the adequacy and feasibility of SILC using Konyang Standard Method. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed our series of 307 SILCs performed between April 2010 and August 2012. Initial...
