Abstract

Laparoscopic surgery describes the performance of surgical procedure with the assistance of a video camera and several other instruments. It is now being used in all surgical fields and especially operations for gastrointestinal diseases adopting a laparoscopic procedure in a relatively short period of time. Many benefits of minimally invasive surgery had been proved. With improvement in equipments, instrumentations, and surgical skills, it would be growing and be able to be approached for a more complex procedure. This paper briefly reviews the history, current status, and future of laparoscopic surgery.
