Abstract		This review summarizes the recent development in the single- incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC).Based on the hypothesis that SILC is a step forward towards further minimizing the perioperative trauma, we analysed the feasibility, safety and possible benefits for the patient on the basis of published randomized controlled trials and matched-pair comparisons. In conclusion, SILC has been found to be a feasible operative approach. In terms of safety, the incidence of major complications associated with SILC does not seem to be higher than that following a standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, definitive proof of its benefits for the patient is still lacking.
