SILS(SINGLE INCISION LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY )

Lakshman Agarwal, Mbbs, MS. Swai man singh medical college, jaipur , rajasthan , india

Gall stones(cholelithiasis)  are common condition . Advent of ultra sonography has increased its detection in a large way. The exact number of cholecystectomy performed in india is difficult to know as there is no standard national registery for it. We are practising SILS since last 4 years and the number exceed 600. 

Langenbuch in  1882 did first open cholecystectomy, Conventional four port laparoscopic cholecystectomy(Philippe Mouret 1987) , Single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (Navarra 1997) and NOTES (Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery )

MATERIAL AND METHODS: This study comprises of 600 cases of SILC (87% female and 13 % male )

A four fascial incision approach was used with conventional staright and reticulating instrument.

RESULTS: This study comprises of 600 cases of SILC (87% female and 13 % male)  with AGE ranging from age 9-90( mean 39.91)

USG Findings in our study were Cholelithiasis with chronic cholecystitis (553 patients),Cholelithiasiswith acute cholecystitis (36 patients),Acalculouschlecystitis (7 patients) And Gall bladder polyp (4patients)

Previous Abdominal Surgery- Lap tubectomy 3%, hysterectomy 2%, L.S.C.S. 3%, Appendicectomy2%, Exploratory Laparotomy 2%.

Intra-Op Findings were – Adhesion 20%, distended gall bladder 12%, Contracted gall bladder 9%,normalgall bladder 59 %

Operative time range from 26.3 to 75 min ( mean 46.96 min )

Intra-Op Complications  were – bleeding 5%, content leak from gallbladder 9% and spillage of stones in 5% patients 

Conversion rate was 3%. Post-Operative Hospital stay was 1.24 + 0.46 days 

Post-Operative Complications (wound infections) was 2%

Scar length was 2.07 cm (range 1.6-2.7 cm)

CONCLUSION: SILC is feasible, safe and reproducible with shorter hospital stay and better cosmesis , but has larger learning curve and longer operative time. 

It does not add to cost if conventional instruments are used as we did in our study.
