摘要
Laparoscopic procedure as a minimally invasive surgery had been introduced into many abdominal surgery. Smaller incisions of the abdominal wall reduce postoperative pain and the risk of wound complications, and provide an excellent cosmetic result compared with open surgery. Flexible endoscope-based transgastric, transcolonic, or transvaginal surgery for abdominal exploration, cholecystectomy, appendectomy, and tubal ligation may further reduce the surgical invasion.
