Core Tip	This study assessed the rate of Bile Duct Injuries and overall biliary complications during single port laparoscopic cholecystectomy. A systematic review of the literature was performed, including 11 randomized controlled trials (898 patients) and 60 non-randomized trials (3599 patients). No statistically significant differences were found. However, interpretation of the results was impaired by several limitations. Based on a retrospective analysis, an incidence of bile duct injuries up to 0.7% was found. The safety of single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy cannot be assumed, based on the current evidence. Hence, this new technology cannot be recommended as standard technique for laparoscopic cholecystectomy so far.
