Abstract:
The benefits of minimally invasive approaches-such as laparoscopy, both standard and with the robotic platform, and therapeutic endoscopy-have been adopted in many settings across emergency general surgery (EGS). Due to the breadth of EGS, the benefits of minimally invasive approaches are highlighted for specific disease processes within this text. In addition to disease-specific review, the interplay between patient physiology and minimally invasive approaches and the importance of quality as these frontiers continue to advance are discussed.
