This report presents the first instance of single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) from the Caribbean island of Turks and Caicos. It demonstrates that SILS cholecystectomy is feasible in this environment with minimal modifications to existing hardware, providing a safe alternative to conventional multi-trocar laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
There has been no prior report of single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) from the Caribbean island of Turks and Caicos. We report our initial experience with SILS cholecystectomy to show that SILS in this environment is feasible with minimal change to the existing hardware. It is a safe alternative to conventional multi-trocar laparoscopic cholecystectomy in this setting.
