"The laparoscopic approach to surgery has revolutionized modern healthcare. With advances in training and accessibility, the worldwide impact of this minimally invasive surgical modality continues to grow exponentially. High quality data continue to show advantages of laparoscopic surgery compared to open surgery in a variety of surgical fields, including lower rates of comorbidity, lower healthcare costs related to length of hospitalization, and expedited patient recovery.
