Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, Initial Evaluation of a Large Series of Patients
Introduction: Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (SILC) has been found to be feasible and safe. We have pioneered and mastered a two trocar SILC technique at UT Southwestern. Here we present our initial data using this technique on fifty patients. Methods: Following an institutional review board, patients with symptomatic gallbladder disease were recruited from January until… Continue Reading

Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Is Safe and Feasible
Objective: Single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) is a new advance wherein laparoscopic surgery is carried out through a single small incision hidden in the umbilicus. Advantages of this technique over standard laparoscopy are still under investigation. The objective of this study is to describe the short term outcomes of SILS cholecystectomies in a single community… Continue Reading

Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: Short-term Outcomes
Objective of the study: To analyze short term results of a new technique i.e. Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. Methods: As opposed to conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomies using four access ports, we perform the Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (procedure termed SILC) using a 5 mm flexible laparoscope, endo-roticulating instruments and 5 mm endo-clips. A vertical incision is… Continue Reading
Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (silc): Initial Experience with Critical View Technique and Routine Intraoperative Cholangiography
Introduction: Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (SILC) is emerging as a potentially less invasive alternative to both standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and NOTES cholecystectomy. However, as this technique becomes more widely employed, it is important to maintain the ability to perform the critical view (CV) dissection and intraoperative cholangiography (IOC). We present our initial experience with… Continue Reading

Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (silc) Step By Step: Refining the Technique
SAGE Sponcor: Vic Velanovich, MD Background: The traditional four incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy is being challenged by new innovative single incision approach. We present our refined technique of the single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC), step by step, in an attempt to standardize this new technique and bring it as close as possible to the traditional four… Continue Reading

Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Using Conventional Instruments: A Comparison with the Gold Standard
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this pilot study was to analyze our initial experience using single umbilical incision cholecystectomy (SILC) with conventional laparoscopic equipment in comparison with standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). METHODS: Between June 1, 2008 and September 30, 2008, data from all consecutive patients undergoing LC by two surgeons were prospectively collected and retrospectively analyzed… Continue Reading

Single Incision Laparoscopic Gastric Band Placement
To further improve cosmesis and perhaps reduce the disability associated with current laparoscopic operations single incision laparoscopic surgery has been advocated. Single incision laparoscopic surgery has been applied to cholecystectomy and appendectomy. We report on the application of this technique to adjustable gastric banding. Methods: Six patients with BMI of 41-44 underwent single incision laparoscopic… Continue Reading

Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS) Training Using a Modified Skills Curriculum
Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS) is an innovative approach to minimally invasive surgery and as such carries a learning curve for both new techniques and new technology. In this video we present a training paradigm for SILS skill training using a modified Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) curriculum. In SILS the laparoscope and instruments are… Continue Reading

Single Incision Right Colon for Cancer
Single Incision Right Colectomy for Cancer Daniel J. Rosen MD, Kevin McGill MD, Julio A. Teixeira MD St. Luke's – Roosevelt Hospital Center, New York, NY We present a right colectomy performed on a 42-year-old woman with a recent diagnosis of a cecal mass and no significant prior history. The resection is done entirely through… Continue Reading

Single Incision Transumbilical Laparoscopic Appendectomy
IntroductionLaparoscopic appendectomy requires 3-4 skin incisions to place 3-4 trocars. We describe a technique for single incision transumbilical appendectomy that utilizes the same equipment required to perform standard laparoscopic appendectomy. MethodsSixteen patients underwent single incision laparoscopic appendectomy using the new technique, operative time, and complications were recorded. ResultsSixteen patients underwent single incision laparoscopic appendectomy with… Continue Reading

Single Incison Laparoscopic Appendectomy Is Safe and Results in Excellent Cosmetic Outcomes
Objective: Single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) is a new advance wherein laparoscopic surgery is carried out through a single small incision hidden in the umbilicus. The use of this technique has been described for many urological and GYN procedures. However, the use of this procedure in general surgery so far has been largely limited to… Continue Reading

Single Port Access (spa) Cholecystectomies: Multi-institutional Report of the First 100 Cases
Since the inception of Single Port Access (SPA) surgery in April 2007, we have strived to develop a reproducible technique applicable to cholecystectomy. The ability of other surgeons in varying institutions to perform a new technique is an important step in determining its feasibility. In follow-up to the initial report of our training program presented… Continue Reading

Single Port Access (spa) Cholecystectomy: a Comparison to Standard Mutliport Cholecystectomy
Over the last two years the field of minimally invasive surgery has seen the emergence of single port laparoscopic techniques. In May 2007, we performed our first Single Port Access (SPA) cholecystectomy. This technique provides an alternative approach to accessing the abdominal cavity for minimal access procedures. Additionally, it enhances cosmesis and decreases skin incisions.… Continue Reading
Single Port Access (spa) Colon Resection: a Comparison to Multiport Laparoscopic (mpl) Colectomy
The Single Port Access (SPA) technique was developed as an alternative to standard multiport laparoscopic (MPL) procedures. The initial advantage SPA surgery offers is the ability to perform standard laparoscopic dissection techniques through a single incision, thus offering improved cosmesis. It is important to compare this novel technique to the proven MPL technique in terms… Continue Reading

Single Port Access (spa) Surgery: Initial 150 Cases Using a Novel Laparoscopic Single Incision Approach
Our initial work with Single Port Access (SPA) Surgery was the application of the technique to cholecystectomy and oopherectomy. We have now developed the SPA technique into a platform that allows multiple abdominal procedures to be accomplished through a single incision, yet in most cases, maintaining the same instrumentation and dissection techniques as standard multiport… Continue Reading
