AB Laparoscopic  surgery  has  steadily  gained  acceptance  over  the  past  two  decades,  and  now  it  has  replaced  open  surgery  for  many  abdominal  procedures  (such  as  appendectomy  and  cholecystectomy);  it  is  also  becoming  the  preferred  approach  to  many  colorectal  procedures  (such  as  colectomy).1  The  reasons  for  the  widespread  adaptation  of  laparoscopic  techniques  are  multiple,  as  listed  in  Table  50-1.  Laparoscopic  techniques,  when  coupled  with  enhanced  recovery  pathways,  also  allow  patients  to  enjoy  a  speedier  recovery,  and  are  associated  with  fewer  complication  rates.2
