3. What is Single Incision
Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS)?
Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS)
is a surgical technique that uses a single
small incision in the patient's abdomen to
perform various procedures. This technique
involves using a camera and surgical
instruments that are inserted through a
single incision to perform the surgery.

4. Differences between Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery
(SILS) and traditional laparoscopic surgery
• Uses a single small incision, typically in the
umbilicus.
• Requires a specialized access device for multiple
instrument insertion.
• Utilizes specially designed flexible or articulated
instruments.
• Technically demanding with a learning curve for
surgeons.
• Offers potential benefits such as reduced
postoperative pain and improved cosmetic
outcomes.
Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS)
• Involves multiple small incisions at
different locations.
• Instruments are inserted through
separate incisions.
• Uses standard laparoscopic
instruments.
• Generally less technically
demanding.
• Well-established technique with a
longer track record.

8. Can SILS be offered to all patients?
While SILS is a promising technique, it may not
be suitable for all patients. Patients with certain
medical conditions or who have had previous
abdominal surgeries may not be good
candidates for SILS. The decision to offer SILS
should be made on a case-by-case basis after
evaluating the patient's medical history and
individual case.

9. What happens if an operation cannot be completed by SILS?
If the surgeon encounters any difficulties
during the procedure or if the patient's
anatomy is not suitable for SILS, the
surgeon may need to convert to
traditional laparoscopic surgery or open
surgery to complete the procedure safely
and effectively. It's essential to have a
skilled surgeon who is experienced in both
traditional laparoscopic surgery and SILS
to ensure the best possible outcome for
the patient.
