First, I would like to express my gratitude to the European Society of Coloproctology (ESCP) for the privilege of granting me a two-week travelling fellowship. My fellowship experiences at Karolinska University Hospital, St. Mark’s Hospital, and Amsterdam Medical Center were both exciting and enlightening. This invaluable experience will have a major impact on my future clinical practice and research content. Indeed, my short stay in Europe will be a memory I will cherish for the rest of my life.

Marat Khaikin

In the lead up to Barcelona 2014, Dr Marat Khaikin from Chaim Sheba Medical Center, Tel-Hashomer in Israel, who is giving the keynote lecture 'SILS - where are we?', spoke with us about SILS.

Photo of Marat KhaikinThe potential advantages of moving from multi-port laparoscopic surgery to single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) is to reduce the number of ports and thereby:

  • minimise wound related complications,
  • decrease post-operative pain,
  • shorten hospital stay,
  • improve cosmesis,
  • improve cost effectiveness,
  • offer faster recovery; and
