Single-Incision Laparoscopic Surgery, also known as single-port laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to perform a gastric sleeve through a single small incision in the patient's body.
This approach offers several potential benefits, including reduced scarring, less post-operative pain, and a quicker recovery compared to traditional laparoscopic surgery, which typically involves multiple incisions. However only patients with a BMI under 35 are the ones who may opt for this type of procedure.
