Single-Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS) is a cutting-edge technique used for the treatment of appendicitis. It is a minimally invasive approach that offers several advantages over traditional open surgery or standard laparoscopic appendectomy.
During a Single-Incision Laparoscopic Appendectomy, the patient is placed under general anaesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. Instead of multiple incisions, a single small incision is made in the patient's belly button (umbilicus). Through this incision, a specialised port is inserted, allowing the surgeon to introduce a laparoscope and surgical instruments. The laparoscope, equipped with a light source and a camera, provides high-definition real-time visualisation of the appendix and surrounding structures on a monitor. This enables the surgeon to navigate and perform the procedure with enhanced precision. Surgical instruments are passed through the same incision to remove the inflamed appendix.
SILS for appendicitis offers several benefits for patients. Firstly, it results in a cosmetically superior outcome as the incision is hidden within the umbilicus, minimising visible scarring. This can be especially appealing for patients who are concerned about the aesthetic appearance of their surgical scars. Additionally, SILS for appendicitis is associated with less postoperative pain compared to open surgery. The smaller incision and reduced tissue trauma result in a quicker recovery and shorter hospital stay. Patients undergoing SILS for appendicitis typically experience less discomfort, have a faster return to normal activities, and require minimal pain medication.
Not all cases of appendicitis may be suitable for SILS. Factors such as the severity of the inflammation, the presence of complications, and the surgeon's expertise will determine the most appropriate approach.
