Abstract:
With the growth of laparoscopic general surgery, both minor and major complications are being encountered. This article discusses complications related to operative laparoscopy, including those associated with access techniques and the pneumoperitoneum. Complications specific to certain procedures, including laparoscopic cholecystectomy, appendectomy, colon resection, anti-reflux surgery, and herniorrhaphy, are also discussed in detail.
