Abstract
Laparoscopy is a safe and accurate procedure within its capabilities. Laparotomy, although usually safe, continues to have complications in some patients and in certain contexts can be avoided by the appropriate use of laparoscopy. Recognition and application of its specific general surgical applications should stimulate its use and encourage a renewed interest in the technique.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
