Background: Both single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) and needlescopic cholecystectomy (NSC) are superior to conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy in terms of cosmetic outcome and incisional pain. We conducted a prospective, randomized clinical trial to evaluate the surgical outcome, postoperative pain, and cosmetic outcome for SILC and NSC procedures. Methods: In this trial, 105 patients were enrolled (52 in the SILC group; 53 in the NSC group). A visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the cosmetic outcome and incisional pain for patients. Logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the operative difficulty that was present for both procedures. Results: There were no significant differences in patient characteristics or surgical outcomes, including operative time and blood loss. The mean VAS scores for cosmetic satisfaction were similar in both groups. There were significant differences in the mean VAS scores for incisional pain on postoperative day 1 (p = 0.009), and analgesics were required within 12 h of surgery (p = 0.007). Obesity (body mass index ≥25 kg/m2) was the only significant influential factor for operating time over 100 min (p = 0.031). Conclusion: NSC is superior to SILC in terms of short-term incisional pain. Experienced laparoscopic surgeons can perform both SILC and NSC without an increase in operative time.

Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a relatively new minimally invasive surgical technique in treatment of benign gallbladder diseases. It is considered a bridge technique between conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and NOTES. We are presenting our initial experiences in SILC (single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy). Seventeen patients underwent SILC (11 women and 6 men) with an average age of 43 years. Mean BMI score was 29,4 kg/m2. The mean operative time was 93,5 minutes. There were conversions to conventional LC in two cases (11,6%). Average pain score measured on visual-analogue scale (VAS) 8h after the operation was 2,00. All patients expressed satisfaction with achieved cosmetic effect. We conclude that SILC is safe and feasible procedure, with excellent cosmetic effect, but further prospective studies are required before SILC can be generally accepted.

Abstract Background: Whether rectus sheath block (RSB) combined with butorphanol can relieve incision pain and visceral pain in patients undergoing single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) remains unknown. The goal of this study was to assess the efficacy of ultrasound-guided bilateral RSB, butorphanol on postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing SILC. Methods: All 116 patients who met the criteria were randomly divided into four groups: (Ⅰ) (n=29) general anesthesia combined with patient controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) (sufentanil 100ug); (Ⅱ) (n=29) general anesthesia combined with PCIA (butorphanol 8mg); (Ⅲ) (n=29) ultrasound-guided RSB combined with PCIA (sufentanil 100ug). (Ⅳ) (n=29) RSB combined with PCIA (butorphanol 8mg). Outcomes included visual analog scale (VAS) scores of incisional and visceral pain at rest and cough at 2,6,12 and 24h postoperatively, if a patient’s pain score>3, then butorphanol 2mg was administered intravenously. the dose of butorphanol and opioids, the pressing numbers of PCIA, the length of hospital stay and the incidence of postoperative adverse events. Results: Both rest and cough pain scores were lower during first 2,6 hours in group Ⅲ than groupⅠ, similarly, group Ⅳwas significantly lower than groupⅡ. GroupⅠneeded more butorphanol as rescue analgesic for pain relief than group Ⅲ, group Ⅳ was better than group Ⅱ. In the above pairwise comparisons, it was clear that group Ⅲ and group Ⅳ had lower VAS scores. VAS scores of visceral pain was lower in groupⅡ at 2, 6 and 12 h after surgery compared with the groupⅠ. In the both groups Ⅲ and Ⅳ, the group Ⅳ was also lower than groupⅢ. Overall, RSB combined with PCIA (butorphanol 8mg) is the best match. Conclusions: Ultrasound-guided RSB combined with butorphanol can provide sufficient pain treatment after SILC. Trial registration: The study was registered prospectively with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry(reg no.ChiCTR1900020738), obtained ethics committee of Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University approval (approved number: 2018-K067).

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has evolved to be as gold standard treatment for gall bladder disease and is the most common laparoscopic procedure performed worldwide. In recent times, the innovative techniques of Natural orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) and Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS) have been applied as a step forward towards scar less surgery with added benefits of less pain and less analgesic requirement, shorter hospital stay, quick return to work.Methods: A retrospective study of 50 patients admitted with gall bladder disease through outdoor for laparoscopic cholecystectomy from November 2018 to January 2019 in Maharishi Markandeshwar Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Mullana (AMBALA) were randomized into two groups of  25 each for Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (SILC) and standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) comparing the operative time, outcome and  complications.Results: 50 patients admitted to MMIMSR Mullana from November 2018 to January 2019 with gall bladder disease were divided into two groups of 25 each who underwent three port SILC and four port laparoscopic cholecystectomy (4PLC). The average intra-operative time in SILC (80.56 mins) was significantly more than standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The average length of stay in the hospital for SILC was 1.8 days (1-3 days), was significantly less than in standard four port laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Incidence of Intraoperative complications were more in SILC than standard LC.Conclusions: SILC as the newer novel technique had better outcomes in terms of cosmesis, early discharge, shorter stay at hospital.

The aim of our study is to compare single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) performed using the “marionette” technique (m-SILC), to the standard four-port technique [four-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy (4PLC)]. Patient information was extracted from a prospectively maintained database (n = 188). Our primary endpoint was operative costs (determined by operating time and instruments used). Secondary endpoints were length of stay, operative time, blood loss, and postoperative complication rates. Univariate and adjusted multivariate analysis was used to compare the outcomes. There were a total of 188 patients for this study. Gender, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists class, and resident participation were similar. Patients undergoing m-SILC were younger (43.8 vs 49.8 years old), less likely to have cholangiogram (32% vs 54%), and were more likely to undergo cholecystectomy for chronic cholecystitis (73.3% vs 52%). In univariate analysis, cholecystectomy performed by the “marionette method” as compared with the 4PLC was associated with shorter operative time (67 vs 59 minutes respectively) and shorter hospital stay (1.2 vs 2.08 days respectively). In multivariate analysis, SILC was associated with shorter hospital stay and comparable operative time, blood loss, and postoperative complications. Instrumentation cost was less in SILC (by $94). SILC done by an experienced surgeon with the “marionette” technique on a carefully selected population shows a statistically significant cost benefit while maintaining clinically comparable outcomes to the standard 4PLC.
