What is SILS (Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery)?
SILS (Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery) is a minimally invasive surgical method performed through a single small incision in the abdomen. This technique is especially preferred for gallbladder surgery. The SILS method leaves less cosmetic scarring and accelerates the healing process. At Metropol Health Group, we successfully apply this method and ensure that patients have a more comfortable recovery process.
How is it done?
- The operation is usually performed through the belly button and a small incision, about 2 cm in size, is made.
- Through this incision, a multi-channel trocar is used to insert the camera and surgical instruments.
- The surgeon performs the surgery precisely by watching the abdomen through the monitor.
- The gallbladder is removed through this small incision and the procedure is completed with minimal trauma.
In Which Situations?
SILS is a preferred surgical method especially for gallbladder diseases. The following symptoms can be seen in these diseases:
- Sudden and severe pain in the right upper abdomen
- Nausea and vomiting
- Digestive problems after fatty foods
- Fever and chills (in case of gallbladder inflammation)
- Jaundice (when obstruction occurs in the bile ducts)
What are the Treatment Methods?
- SILS (Single Incision Surgery): The gallbladder is removed through a small incision in the belly button. This method offers cosmetic advantages and provides rapid recovery.
- Traditional Laparoscopic Surgery: A minimally invasive surgical method that is performed through multiple small incisions.
- Open Surgery: In more complicated cases, surgery is performed through a large incision and requires a longer recovery period.
Advantages of the SILS Method
- Fewer scars and minimization of aesthetic concerns
- Less pain and short recovery time
- Faster return to everyday life
At Metropol Health Group, the SILS method is meticulously applied by our expert surgeons and offers our patients a more comfortable treatment process.
