SILS (Single-Incision Laparoscopic Surgery) and conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy are two techniques used for gallbladder removal. SILS involves making a single small incision, usually at the umbilicus, through which multiple instruments are inserted. Conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy involves four small incisions. Both techniques aim to minimize scarring and reduce postoperative pain. However, SILS offers potential cosmetic benefits with a hidden scar but may present technical challenges due to instrument crowding. Conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a well-established technique with proven safety and efficacy. The choice between the two depends on surgeon expertise and patient-specific factors.
