Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy vs. conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a meta-analysis of the literature

ConclusionThis meta-analysis demonstrated that except for improved postoperative pain at 24  h, SILC did not show improved outcomes when compared to CLC. With the presently published RCTs, we are unable to provide statistical analysis on further outcomes such as postoperative complications. Hence, the choice of procedure remains largely the decision of the operating surgeon.
