What are the advantages of single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy versus conventional four port laparoscopic cholecystectomy?
- The principal advantage of SILS is satisfaction with the cosmetic result because of a reduced number of scars.
- Length of stay is not significantly decreased, nor is postoperative pain.
- Interestingly, a recent study concluded that although cosmetic result was preferred with SILS, there was no significant difference in patient overall satisfaction.
