In theory, minimal incision must provide minimal postoperative pain and better cosmetic results. With the use of single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC), this purpose is achieved by means of cosmesis but providing minimal postoperative pain is still controversial. Recent reports on, LC vs. SILC showed significantly favorable cosmetic benefit, comparable complication rate and hospital stay with SILC, but the mean operation time was significantly longer. Today, lack of standardized operation technique, the need for specialized instruments, the fear of inability to apply safe cholecystectomy principles, longer operation time, cost-effectivity and advanced laparoscopic experience are still limiting factor to performing SILC.
