Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy for Gallbladder Duplication

Single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy--a new advantage of gallbladder surgery.

In this study is demonstrated our experience in single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILS), compared to standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy. There were 48 single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomies (SILS) performed during one-year period (A group) and results have been compared with a group of 50 patients who underwent standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy (B group). Outcome meas...

Single-Incision Cholecystectomy for Left-Sided Gallbladder

True left-sided gallbladder (sinistroposition) is a rare anatomic anomaly in which the gallbladder is found to the left of the falciform ligament, under the left lobe of the liver. Though uncommon, it is important for the surgeon to recognize this finding because the ductal anatomy is unique and the mechanics of the operation provide a technical challenge. Multiple case reports have documented ...

Laparoscopic Completion Cholecystectomy and Common Bile Duct Exploration for Retained Gallbladder After Single-Incision Cholecystectomy

BACKGROUND Recent enthusiasm in the surgical community for less invasive surgical approaches has resulted in widespread application of single-incision techniques. This has been most commonly applied in laparoscopic cholecystectomy in general surgery. Cosmesis appears to be improved, but other advantages remain to be seen. Feasibility has been demonstrated, but there is little description in the...

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 ...
