Abstract
The indications for single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy are similar to those for four-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Aside from superior cosmetic satisfaction, the outcome between the two techniques is similar. Surgeon preference usually dictates whether or not this procedure is performed as opposed to the conventional four-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This chapter describes indications, essential steps, variations, and complications of this procedure. It provides a detailed template operative note for the procedure.
