Purpose: As the interest in minimal invasive surgery has turned to single-site access surgery, single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) is becoming popular. Recently limited numbers of pediatric SILS series have been published. SILS needs nonconventional three-lumen ports and articulated working instruments. However, it is possible to perform single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy using a single conventional port and conventional working instruments. We herein present our preliminary experience with cholecystectomy conducted with single-port incisionless-intracorporeal conventional equipment-endoscopic surgery.
