Principles of laparoscopic surgery.

Abstract

Laparoscopic surgery is now stablished as the modality of choice for most surgical diseases due to its proven benefits for surgeons as well as patients in terms of security and recovery. The concept of minimally invasive surgery is constantly evolving and expanding, robotic surgery being one example of a discipline gaining attention among surgical specialties. Understanding the basics of general laparoscopic surgery becomes essential to develop the abilities required for other more advanced modalities. This manuscript seeks to compile the technical principles of abdominopelvic laparoscopic surgery.
