The advent of operative laparoscopy brought a whole new dimension to surgical practice. Beginning from early 1990's laparoscopic procedures moved from experimental to accepted clinical practice. While some remain controversial concerning long term efficacy, cost and advantages versus disadvantages, others have been defined as "gold standards".
