SILS stands for Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery.

In contrast to the "traditional" laparoscopic surgery, in which as a rule 3-5 short-distance (10mm) skin incisions distributed over the abdomen are chosen as access, with the SILS technique only an incision of 15-20 mm is made.

This skin incision in the depth of the navel leads to the end the procedure leads to an invisible or barely visible scar, which disappears in the navel.

The navel not only represents the geographical center of man, but also provides the easiest and most safe access to the abdominal cavity. After the skin incision, the actual abdominal wall is displayed and three small working sleeves are inserted through the abdominal wall into the abdominal cavity. In addition to optics with a camera, two more sleeves for instruments are inserted into the abdominal cavity.
