Core Tip	Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) has attracted attention as a minimally invasive procedure. A scar-less operation can be achieved by making a skin incision at the umbilicus. However, the safety of this procedure for acute cholecystitis has not been established. We reported 100 consecutive cases of SILC for acute cholecystitis and their surgical outcomes. SILC was safely performed in approximately 80% of cases in this series. We believe that the results of this study indicate the feasibility of SILC for acute cholecystitis.
