Core Tip	Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) is an alternative treatment for uncomplicated benign gallbladder diseases, but its role in acute cholecystitis remains unclear. This comparative analysis of SILC with three-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy for treating acute cholecystitis represents the largest series to date and proportion of gangrenous cholecystitis patients (30.6%). The well-known drawbacks of SILC - longer operative time and higher cost - were alleviated by the larger paraumbilical incisions facilitating extraction of inflamed gallbladders and reliance on conventional instruments only. The low procedure conversion rate observed for SILC indicated its safety and efficacy for treating acute cholecystitis. SILC providing a faster recovery time was the main benefit to these patients.
