Single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) for colorectal resection is a new minimally invasive technique that uses only one incision. The document discusses SILS colectomy procedures performed by Dr. Rieger on 7 patients for benign and early stage malignant colon conditions. While offering cosmetic and recovery advantages over traditional laparoscopy, SILS for colectomy also presents new instrument and operative challenges. Further experience is needed to fully evaluate the oncologic safety and outcomes of SILS colectomy.
