*5.3.1 Single-incision robotic cholecystectomy (SIRC)*

Robot-assisted surgical platform with the single incision has overcome many limitations of single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy with bridling the triangulation, quality of view, and movement options [18]. The indication for SIRC is very similar to that of conventional LC. The relative contraindication being the same for SIRC and SILC; however thanks to better triangulation and surgical skills with the robotic platform, SIRC is being more frequently used in patients with higher BMI, acute cholecystitis, and patients with previous abdominal surgeries in the upper abdomen [19].
