Background and objectives: The study was conducted with the aim to determine frequency and to assess the risk factors of portsite infection after elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy in low-risk patients at a tertiary care hospital of Kashmir.Design and Setting: Prospective.Patients and Methods : The study included 675 consecutive patients of port-site infection after elective laparoscopic cho...

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...

Single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) offers an approach to cholecystectomy without visible evidence that the cholecystectomy occurred.9 Cosmesis is the only documented benefit of the single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC), while SILC remains equivalent to multi-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (MILC) in all other respects.14 We report our experience of performing SILC w...

Background The possibilities of minimally invasive cholecystectomy have emerged since the beginning single-incision laparoscopic (SILC) and single-site robotic (SSRC). This study aimed to compare feasibility, safety, pain scores between SSRC SILC. Methods authors searched randomized or non-randomized controlled trials observational studies in PubMed, EuroPMC, ClinicalTrials.gov from April 2012 ...

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 ...

This study aims to introduce an alternative technique for effective single-site robotic cholecystectomy (SSRC) using a reverse port. Proper exposure of Calot’s triangle is critical for safe laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Current robotic surgical systems are useful for singlesite cholecystectomy. However, in exposing Calot’s triangle, the gallbladder is usually retracted in a medial and upward di...

UNLABELLED Since the first laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), laparoscopic approach has been the focus of surgical authorities and continued its technical revolution. With increasing surgical experience, a trend toward even more minimally invasive approaches has led to laparoscopic surgery to new inovations. Current surgical procedures are: four ports (4PLC), still the gold standart technique, ...

OBJECTIVES To report our experience with single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) for cholecystectomy and to perform a retrospective comparison with conventional 4-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS Data were prospectively collected for all patients undergoing SILS for cholecystectomy at St Mary's Hospital, Imperial College NHS Trust, London, England (n = 41 p...
