[Single-incision versus conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a meta-analysis].

Objective: To study feasibility and security of single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC).

Methods: Clinical trials comparing SILC with conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) for benign gallbladder disease published from 2010 to 2012 were retrieved. A meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate operative time, blood loss, conversion rate, post-operative pain, wound satisfaction score, post-operative hospital stay and post-operative complications between SILC group and LC group.
