ABSTRACT

Laparoscopy has revolutionized abdominal surgery over the past 30 years that enable surgeons to perform operations without making large abdominal incisions. As well as cholecystectomy, appendicectomy, and tubo-ovarian procedures, laparoscopy is now increasingly used for hysterectomy, bariatric procedures, and many gastrointestinal and urological cancer resections. Technological advances have resulted in the development of several variations on the «standard» laparoscopic approach. The multimodal perioperative care pathways were designed to achieve early recovery after surgical procedures. This depends upon the type of surgery that has been performed, and patient factors such as comorbidities. The duration of recovery after laparoscopic surgery depends on the procedure performed and can be as short as 1-2 weeks in day case procedures (visit http://www.painoutmexico.com to see the full article and recommendations).
