In recent years single-incision laparoscopic sleeve (SILS) has emerged as another modality of carrying out the bariatric procedures.
Minimally invasive procedure in which the surgeon operates almost exclusively through a single entry point, typically the patient’s umbilicus. Special articulating instruments and access ports eliminate the need to place trocars externally for triangulation, thus allowing the creation of a small, solitary portal of entry into the abdomen.
The Single Incision Laparoscopic Sleeve (SILS) involves performing surgical intervention, through a single incision in the umbilical region, with the same weight lose results.
Consider the advantages of Single Incision Gastric Sleeve
Less invasive surgery
(Compared to conventional technique)
Because the procedure is performed laparoscopically, it is less invasive and less risky than open surgery.
Less recovery time
Patients who undergo single-incision laparoscopic surgery can expect less recovery time and post-operative pain.
Aesthetic Wise
SILS only requires a single incision through the belly button, so there is virtually no scarring after surgery.
Who is candidate for a SILS?
- Patient with BMI less than 36%
- Without a bariatric or abdominal surgery before
