Scientific titleProspective randomised controlled trial of traditional laparoscopic cholecystectomy versus SILS™ port laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Study acronymSILS™ Port Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Study
Study objectivesThe objectives of this trial are: 1) to assess the feasibility and safety of performing SILS™ port cholecystectomy, and 2) to monitor and compare the outcomes of SILS™ port cholecystectomy versus 4PLC to objectively document the scientific merit, and the perceived advantages of SILS™ port cholecystectomy.
Ethics approval(s)Italy: Ethics Committee, Universita Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, approved on 02/12/2008 (ref: Prot.cm.P822 [A.1505]/C.E./2008)

USA: University Hospital Case Medical Center, Institutional Review Board for Human Investigations. Approval pending as of 13/01/2009.
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedAcute calculus, acalculous cholecystitis
InterventionTraditional laparoscopic cholecystectomy versus SILS™ port laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measure1. Feasibility and safety of SILS™ port cholecystectomy versus four-port traditional laparoscopic cholecystectomy as indicated by intraoperative and postoperative adverse events up to one year
2. Operative time
3. Blood loss
Secondary outcome measures1. Pain, assessed by the Pain Intensity numerical rating scale at 8 different timepoints within the first month post surgery
2. Cosmesis, assessed at 5 different timepoints between 1 week and 1 year post surgery by the following:
2.1. Modified Hollander scale
2.2. Body image questionnaire
2.3. Photo series questionnaire
3. Quality of life, assessed by the SF-8® and SF-12® Health Survey questionnaires at 7 different timepoints, once prior to surgery and 6 times up to 1 month post surgery
4. Time to return to normal activity
5. Time required for insertion of SILS™ Port compared to 4 standard ports
