Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS) is a surgical method that allows laparoscopic surgery to be performed through a single incision in the abdomen – usually located in the belly button. SILS is used for various procedures including gallbladder removal, hysterectomies and now weight loss surgery.
The greatest benefit to the SILS method is that the patient can undergo a weight loss procedure with little to no visible scarring. SILS does not change the procedure itself – gastric banding is the same no matter how it is performed. It is simply one more minimally invasive option for you to consider. Your surgeon will help you decide if SILS is the best option for you.
We encourage our patients to attend a free seminar or schedule a consultation to learn more about all of the weight loss options available to them. During the seminar, we will cover the different procedures, the various techniques used to perform the surgery, and offer some first-hand perspective.
