Systematic reviews and meta-analyses on robotic single site cholecystectomy: can we conclude that the procedure is safe?

Abstract

Single-Site® technology for da Vinci® Surgical Systems has been used since 2010 for cholecystectomy. Recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses emphase that this technique is safe, particularly regarding the risk of port-site hernia. However, several authors reported an increased risk of incisional hernia after Single-Site® technology cholecystectomy. This can be explain by incision size but also by specific factors. Indeed, articles included for systematic reviews and meta-analyses had short follow-up and were not focused on long-term complications. Outcomes of meta-analyses should be carefully interpreted and port site-hernia looked forward in any new trials on this topic.
