Purpose: The extent of surgical trauma is reflected by systemic inflammatory response (SIR). The aim of this study was to assess SIR after single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) versus the standard laparoscopic approach.
Materials And Methods: Twenty pigs were assigned into 4 groups: SILS (group SILS), laparoscopy using 4 trocars (group LAPSC), pneumoperitoneum (group PNE), or a sham-operation (group Sham) group.
