Single-Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: Is It a Plausible Alternative to the Traditional Four-Port Laparoscopic Approach?

الملخص EN

The current standard-of-care for treatment of cholecystectomy is the four port laparoscopic approach.

The development of single incision/laparoendoscopic single site surgery (SILC/LESS) has now led to the development of new techniques for removal of the gallbladder.

The use of SILC/LESS is now currently being evaluated as the next step in treatment of cholecystectomy.

This review is an attempt to consolidate the current knowledge and analyze the feasibility of world-wide implementation of SILC/LESS.
