    I'm also researching the single incision surgery and am hopeful someone more knowledgeable about it could answer a few questions.

    Does anyone know if it significantly improves the recovery process?

    Is the main reason for having it to avoid scars and to quicken recovery?

    Are there any additional risks to it?

    And good luck to Lucky Star! I hope your surgery goes well.
