What is Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS)?
Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS) is a minimally invasive surgical technique that allows gynecologists to perform procedures through a single entry point, typically the patient's navel. This approach contrasts with traditional laparoscopy, which usually requires multiple small incisions. The primary goal of SILS is to minimize the physical trauma associated with surgery, thereby reducing recovery time and improving cosmetic outcomes.
