Single incision laparoscopic surgery is the most advanced form of laparoscopic surgery. Rather than using the traditional methods, where four to five incisions were made, this procedure uses a single entry point, providing shorter recovery periods, fewer scars and less pain. SILS is the latest additions to Bariatric surgery.
How is Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS) done?
During the procedure, a SILS port is inserted into the belly button incision. The port is a soft and flexible instrument equipped with features to carry out the surgical procedure. The incision techniques allow the surgeon to carry out laparoscopy from various angles. This improves visualization and makes the procedure very efficient.
