Single Incision Laparoscopic Colectomy (SILC) is a minimally invasive procedure performed through a single small incision—typically at the belly button—offering reduced postoperative pain, faster recovery, and virtually scarless results for patients requiring colon surgery.

At Arizona Endocrine Surgery, this approach is offered for select patients with conditions such as diverticulitis, colon polyps, or early-stage colon cancer.

Unlike traditional multi-port laparoscopic surgery, SILC uses a specialized port that allows all instruments to pass through one access point, resulting in less postoperative pain, faster recovery, and virtually no visible scarring. This technique is ideal for patients seeking a less invasive option with excellent cosmetic outcomes, and it reflects our commitment to advanced, patient-centered surgical care.
