Abstract:
Laparoscopic procedures are becoming routine and commonplace. Patients who undergo laparoscopic surgery enjoy shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery times. These procedures have naturally progressed to an ambulatory status. Their spectrum is continually expanding. Also, the trend towards shorter hospital stays, in part driven by the advent of laparoscopic procedures, may alter traditional surgical dogma regarding length of stay.
