Abstract
BACKGROUND: Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy, first introduced in 1995, features acceptable cosmetic outcomes and postoperative pain control. The outcomes of single-port cholecystectomy by laparoscopy and robots were recently examined in many studies owing to surgeon and patient preference for minimally invasive surgery. A next-level da Vinci robotic platform was recently released. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of robotic cholecystectomy (RC) using the da Vinci SP® system.
