Single Incision Vs. Open and Laparoscopic Gastric Sleeve

What is SILS Sleeve Gastrectomy?

  • More minimally invasive than conventional multiport laparoscopic surgery
  • Involves making just one incision (about 3.5-4 cm long) in the navel (umbilicus or belly button)
  • 4 to 6 trocars (precision-engineered instruments for performing laparoscopic surgery) are inserted into the abdominal cavity through this incision
  • About 80% of the stomach is removed to reduce its capacity, just as in traditional laparoscopic surgery

In addition to the single operative incision, a second incision may have to be made to keep the liver out of the way and give the surgeon sufficient space for performing the surgery.

Also known as:

  • SILS gastric sleeve
  • SISG
  • One incision sleeve gastrectomy
  • Single-incision transumbilical sleeve surgery
  • SITU SG
  • Scar-free vertical sleeve surgery
