Abstract:
"Big Incision, Big Surgeon !!" At the beginning of surgery, excellence was associated with big incisions and rapidity of the operation because of the anesthesia. But, nowadays there has been a big change after the development of laparoscopic surgery. It is not a discipline unto itself, but more a philosophy of surgery, a way of thinking. " Small Incision, Best Surgeon!!" So-called Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is a means of performing major operations through small incisions, often using miniaturized, high-tech imaging systems, to minimize the trauma of surgical exposure. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy became the stepping stone of the present status of MIS and is opening the dawn of the least invasive and eventually to non-invasive surgery, for exemple, Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES). I review the history of laparoscopic cholecystectomy cholecystectomy and introduce what procedures the surgeons are performing in the field of hepatopancreato biliary diseases.
