Single-Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Versus Traditional Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Randomized Prospective Trial
This study will compare Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS) cholecystectomy to
traditional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), focusing on patient-reported outcomes and
cost.
Single-Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS) is accepted as a form of surgical treatment.
Traditional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (TLC) is well tolerated, with a low complication
risk and high patient satisfaction; thus a SILS procedure needs to be at least equivalent to
be a justifiable replacement, and should not result in higher costs.
