Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare genetic anomaly characterized by arrangement of the abdominal and thoracic organs in a perfect mirror image reversal of the normal positioning. Transposition of the organs causes difficulty in diagnosis and treatment of the diseases related to abdomen and thorax. Single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) is a new technique and it is increasingly used wit...

Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) has rapidly spread throughout the world because of its low invasiveness and because it is a scarless procedure. Various surgical methods of performing SILC are present in each institute; however, it is necessary to develop a standardized procedure that we can perform safely, such as the conventional 4-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Th...

There are no conflicts of interest. trial of immediate postoperative pain following single‑incision versus traditional laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Chin Med Westert GP, Drenth JP, et al. Prospective multicentre cohort study of patient‑reported outcomes after cholecystectomy for uncomplicated symptomatic cholecystolithiasis. of pain perception and tramadol consumption using intravenous patient‑...

BACKGROUND Single-incision laparoscopic surgery has gained increasing attention due to its potential to improve the benefits of laparoscopic surgery. However, the technique remains technically challenging for most surgeons. We developed a new technique utilizing a needle grasper held in the surgeon's left hand as an alternative to conventional single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC)...

PURPOSE Single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) has become a more frequently performed method for benign gallbladder diseases all over the world. The effects of SILC technique on oxidative stress have not been well documented. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of laparoscopic cholecystectomy techniques on systemic oxidative stress by using ischemia modified albumin (I...

PURPOSE Minimally invasive surgical technics have benefits such as decreased pain, reduced surgical trauma, and increased potential to perform as day case surgery, and cost benefit. The primary aim of this prospective, randomized, controlled study was to compare the effects of single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) and conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (CLC) procedures rega...

The major aim of surgeons has always been a minimalist approach towards surgery, thereby reducing the complications associated with the surgery. The gold standard treatment for cholelithiasis with cholecystitis is currently the four port laparoscopic cholecystectomy (4 PLC). Recently, a newer technique has been introduced which uses a single port, rather than the four ports, for the removal of ...

Objective: We performed a comparative analysis of single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) and 4-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) to clarify the usefulness of SILC in treating cholecystopathy. Subjects and Methods: Subjects were 77 patients who underwent LC prior to the introduction of SILC at our hospital and 182 patients who subsequently underwent SILC. We obtained patient da...

BACKGROUND Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) has been projected to have better cosmetic outcome compared with conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (CLC). However, there are scarce data that have objectively compared the patient's perception of cosmetic outcome after SILSC and CLC. METHODS The SILC and CLC patients, who were operated in the last 2 years, were personally ...

OBJECTIVE To compare the incidence of bile duct injuries during single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) in relation to the accepted historic rate of 0.4% to 0.5% for standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SLC). BACKGROUND Technically, SILC is more challenging than SLC. The role and benefit of SILC in patient care has yet to be defined. Bile duct injuries have been reported in seve...
