About SILs
The SILS technique also known as Single Port Laparoscopic Surgery or Scarless Surgery can
be utilised to safely manage common surgical conditions including:
• Removal of the appendix
• Removal of gallbladder for gallstones
• Hernia repair
• Colon operations
• Other operations on the stomach.
The majority of single port operations are performed as a daycase and the patient will only have one scar which is concealed in the belly button, the pain will be less and the recovery period is quicker. Most people can have single port laparoscopic surgery, it may however be more difficult for patients who have had previous or multiple operations where the abdomen is very scarred.
Barry Paraskeva is a Consultant General, Laparoscopic and Colo-rectal surgeon at St Mary’s Hospital in London and a Reader in Surgery at Imperial College, London. Recently he has pioneered single port laparoscopic surgery / single incision laparoscopic surgery which is virtually scarless surgery, and was the first surgeon in the UK to remove the appendix and gallbladder in this way. Mr Paraskeva is a keen educator and respected lecturer in surgery and has authored many texts on surgery.
