TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Anesthetic Implications of Laparoscopic Surgery A1 - Bland, Pamela C. A2 - Freeman, Brian S. A2 - Berger, Jeffrey S. Y1 - 2016 N1 - T2 - Anesthesiology Core Review: Part Two Advanced Exam AB - The laparoscopic and laparoscopic-assisted approaches have vastly expanded from routine gynecological procedures (e.g., tubal ligation) and cholecystectomies to complex gastrointestinal (e.g., colonic, gastric, splenic, hepatic), urologic (e.g., nephrectomy, prostatectomy), and vascular (aortic) surgeries. The major benefits of laparoscopy are a direct result from the avoidance of large abdominal incisions. Therefore, hospitalizations are shorter, recoveries faster, pain less severe, and pulmonary function better preserved.
