A preliminary note on laparoscopic surgery

Yany Shayann

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy's rapid uptake and popularity have never before been seen in the annals of modern surgery. This has led to attempts to replace open surgical techniques with therapeutic and diagnostic laparoscopy in practically every area of surgery. The list goes on and on. As reports from controlled studies and long-term follow-up results are needed, it will take some time to assess the merits and safety of many of these operations. Many other operations, like as hernia repair, radical resection of intestine for cancer, etc., may fail to do so as the initial enthusiasm wanes. This is true even though certain techniques, such as appendectomy and gall bladder surgery, will demonstrate their many fold advantages over open surgery.
