Introduction The digitalization of medicine has led to a considerable growth of
heterogeneous health datasets, which could improve healthcare research if integrated into …

Background Long-term outcomes of cholecystectomy are largely unknown though it is a
common procedure in general surgery. We aimed to investigate the long-term mortality rate …

Background Single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) is growing in popularity. The
increased diameter of the umbilical incision might raise questions about the possibility of a …

Aim To access the incidence and predictive factors of incisional hernia after single-incision
laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC). Methods Eighty-two consecutive patients operated on …

Background Within the last years, single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SLC)
emerged as an alternative to multiport laparoscopic cholecystectomy (MLC). SLC has …

Background Single-incision laparoscopic surgery has emerged as an alternative to
conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in the clinical setting. Limited information is …

The role of single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) and single-incision robotic
cholecystectomy (SIRC) is still unclear. We update the summarization of the feasibility and …

Background Various surgical approaches are available for cholecystectomy, but their long-
term outcomes, such as incidence of incisional hernia, are largely unknown. Our aim was to …

Background: Laparoscopic and robot-assisted surgery is now common place, and each
trocar site is a potential incisional hernia site. A number of factors increase the risk of trocar …

Background Single-incision minimally invasive surgery has previously been associated with
incisions 2.0–3.0 cm in length. We present a novel single-incision surgical platform …
