Single Incision Laparscopic Surgery with Dr. Buckley

F. Paul Buckley, III, M.D., discusses the benefits and the birth of Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery or SILS. This new technology is an evolution of the traditional laparoscopic techniques and allows doctors to make one incision to enter the abdominal cavity to perform such surgeries as liver resections, colostomy reversals and a variety of hernia operations.

Not only does it allow doctors the same visibility without making as many incisions, but it also provides several benefits to the patient including decreased pain and recovery time, a smaller, less noticeable scar and decreased risk of wound infection.
