101 Despite being a relative newcomer to surgery, videola-paroscopy, also known as operative or therapeutic laparoscopy) has ignited a revolution in the surgical approach where it has been utilized for virtually every surgically addressed pathological entity. 1 Videolaparoscopic surgery has the predominant means of performing many common surgical procedures. Operative laparoscopy has largely pr...

Robotic surgery has greatly improved surgeon dexterity and ergonomics but has substantially increased the number and size of ports required. The typical robotic surgical procedure will use three 8-mm ports and two 12-mm ports. Single-port laparoscopy, also known as Laparo-Endoscopic Single Site (LESS) surgery, is an attempt to further enhance cosmetic benefits and reduce morbidity of minimally ...

For many abdominal procedures, advantages such as minimal scarring, reduced pain, and faster recovery have made laparoscopy the favored approach over traditional open surgery. The most recent minimally invasive approach is natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES), which limits morbidity because this surgery does not require incision. This article reviews the history, development,...

Recently, increasing number of manuscripts - original articles and case reports have attempted to provide evidence of the forays of minimal access surgery into pancreatic diseases. Many, based on the lack of Level I evidence, still believe that laparoscopy in pancreatic surgery is experimental. This article attempts to look into data exploring the existing use of minimally invasive surgery in p...

Laparoscopy is becoming a standard surgical treatment for early stage endometrial cancer, resulting in survival rates similar to laparotomy.1 Gynecological surgery is a minimally invasive approach, able to both reduce postoperative pain and improve cosmetics in a safe manner. In this context, several laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) hysterectomies have been described in recent literature for...

Gastropexy via a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy has been used for fixation of the stomach to the anterior abdominal wall in patients with hiatal hernias who are poor candidates for more extensive procedures. Altered anatomic relationship of the stomach to other intra-abdominal organs and the abdominal wall may prevent safe placement endoscopically. Visualizing and manipulating the stomach ...

Gordts, the technique of Fertiloscopy has been developed, starting in 1997, by A.Watrelot at the "Centre Lyonnais de recherche et d'étude de la stérilité (CRES®)". Fertiloscopy is a new minimally invasive methods for the exploration of the posteri...
