SINGLE INCISION LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY: USE OF CONVENTIONAL LAPAROSCOPIC INSTRUMENTS IN SINGLE INCISION LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY: OUR EXPERIENCE
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 34
Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic surgery has undergone several modifications since its advent. There has been a shift from a standard multiport approach to more minimalistic approaches. SILS is a major step in this evolutionary process. We present our experience with SILS using conventional laparoscopic instruments and without the need for a SILS port. METHODS 211 patients in Fortis Hospitals, Bangalore, India, who underwent SILS for various abdominal conditions from May 2009 to May 2011 were included in the study. Variables such as operating time, conversion to multi-port laparoscopy or open surgery, complications, analgesia requirements and hospital stay were included. RESULTS 211 patients underwent SILS using conventional laparoscopic instruments for Gallstones, Appendicitis, Morbid Obesity, Gynaecological conditions and Renal cysts. Average age group was 48.5 years; mean duration of hospital stay was 46.5 hours; 166 Laparoscopic cholecystectomies were done, out of which 47 were acute cholecystitis. There were no cases converted to open surgeries. CONCLUSION Single Incision Laparoscopic surgery is technically feasible and as effective as conventional laparoscopic surgery. It is a safe procedure and provides an advantage with regards to analgesia requirement, length of hospital stay and early return to work. Cosmetically, it is superior to multiport laparoscopy
