Scarless belly button surgery Paraskevas

A surgeon Paraskevas Paraskeva of the Imperial College London Healthcare NHS Trust pioneered a practically scarless single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) to remove a gall bladder and the appendix. The surgery involved making a 10mm incision in the belly button and using laparoscopic "key-hole" surgery technique to remove the organs. By making that 10mm incision, Paraskevas could insert a "single access port" through which instruments and a small camera are fed to enable the almost scarless surgery.

Such surgery normally involved making 3 incisions which leaves scars and requires hospitalization. However, the technique perfected by Paraskevas not only left practically no scar, the patient could be discharged on the same day as the surgery.
