Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS)
Single incision laparoscopic surgery is a modern technique in laparoscopic surgery. A 20 mm incision, the size of an average button is made in or near the navel area. A surgeon inserts a scope through this incision. The scope acts as the surgeons eyes guiding him throughout the surgery. Organ extraction if required is also done through the same incision. As the incision is minute in size, the skin recovers without any trace of scars.
