Special problems in laparoscopic surgery. Previous abdominal surgery, obesity, and pregnancy
1Department of Surgery, University of New Mexico School of Medicine, Albuquerque, USA.
Abstract:
Previous surgery, obesity, and pregnancy should no longer be considered contraindications to laparoscopic surgery. Surgeons should exercise good judgement in patient selection, use meticulous surgical techniques, and prepare thoroughly for the planned procedure. Patients and surgeons should be aware of increased conversion rates. With these caveats in mind, these patients can still experience the advantages of minimally invasive surgery without increased risks.
