Department of Surgery, University of Missouri-Kansas City, Kansas City, MO, USA. Saint Luke's Hospital of Kansas City, Kansas City, MO, USA.
Background And Objectives: Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) is gradually being adopted into general surgical practice. The potential risks and benefits are still being studied, and little is known about how patients perceive this new surgical technique.
Methods: After providing patients with basic educational materials on laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and SILC, we administered a questionnaire exploring patients' perspectives of the importance of postoperative pain, scar appearance, risk of complications, and cost regarding their preference for SILC versus LC.
