Article Synopsis
- Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the standard treatment for gallbladder issues, and single-site robotic cholecystectomy (SSRC) offers improved ergonomics and cosmetic outcomes, potentially reducing surgical trauma.
- A study involving 27 patients showed SSRC to be technically feasible with no major complications; however, 11.5% experienced post-operative incisional hernias, and patients reported improvements in body image and scar appearance.
- The initial findings suggest that SSRC could be a preferred method for patients who prioritize cosmetic results, and the lower costs associated with robotic surgeries might encourage wider adoption for this technique in gallbladder surgery.
