title: [Single-port cholecystectomy - pros and cons].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  to study efficacy and safety of current laparoscopic techniques of cholecystectomy.
  
  
  METHODS
  3 groups of patients were defined. Single laparoscopic access with/without trocar support was used in group 1 (SILS+, n=10) and 2 (SILS, n=16) respectively. Conventional four-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy was applied in comparison group.
  
  
  RESULTS
  SILS+ and SILS techniques were associated with less pain syndrome within first 12 hours after surgery compared with four-port cholecyst-ectomy. Better cosmetic result is also achieved in case of single-port technique. Both methods are comparable in their safety.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  SILS-techniques are current alternatives to four-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy due to better cosmetic result, mild postoperative pain syndrome and comparable safety.
