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.
