Abstract:
Minimally invasive technology is being applied to an increasing number of surgical procedures. It remains to be seen which techniques will eventually become a 'gold standard' as has the laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and which will fall by the wayside. In the meantime, anesthesiologists must be aware of the unique requirements and complications of laparoscopic surgery.
