Langenbuch’s open cholecystectomy remained the gold standard for symptomatic cholelithiasis for over a century and even still being performed in many areas. In view of the emerging trend towards minimal invasive surgery, the evolution of laparoscopic surgery started in 1982 and the first laparoscopic surgery was appendectomy in 1982. As a bridge between traditional laparoscopic surgery and natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery, the recent focus has been on the development of Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS) to further minimize the invasiveness of laparoscopic surgery by reducing the number of incisions.
