Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy: How I do it? Bhandarkar, Deepraj; Mittal, Gaurav; Shah, Rasik; Katara, Avinash & Udwadia, Tehemton E. Abstract Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) is a relatively new technique that is being increasingly used by surgeons around the world. Unlike the multi-port cholecystectomy, a standardised technique and detailed description of the operative steps of SILC is lacking in the literature. This article provides a stepwise account of the technique of SILC aimed at surgeons wishing to learn the procedure. A brief review of the current literature on SILC follows.
