Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SIL-C) is being rapidly adopted due to its favorable esthetic outcome, but the question remains as to whether it is less invasive than conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Therefore, the invasiveness of SIL-C and LC was compared. Methods: At our hospital, SIL-C is not indicated for cases of cholecystitis of moderate or higher severity. Therefore, 44 cases of SIL-C and 182 cases of LC performed for similar indications over a two-year period were compared. The items investigated were operative time, postoperative pain, duration of postoperative stay, postoperative inflammatory findings, and postoperative complications. Postoperative pain was assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS). Results: Operative time was significantly longer for SIL-C (104.4±30.8 min) than for LC (78.5±26.8 min), while no significant differences were observed between SIL-C and LC in postoperative pain at any time point (51.6±17.8 vs. 46.5±18.6 on postoperative day (POD) 0, 41.5±20.4 vs. 32.7±18.5 on POD 1, 8.8±7.4 vs.8.9±6.3 on POD 7). The duration of postoperative stay was significantly longer for LC (3.4±1.5 days) than for SIL-C (2.6±0.9 days). No significant between-group differences were observed in postoperative inflammatory findings (temperature and leukocyte count on POD 1). No perioperative complications occurred in either group. Conclusion: While SIL-C is highly favorable in terms of esthetics, it was not shown to be less invasive than LC in the present study.
