Laparoscopic surgery is a relatively new approach to common surgical problems.
It is just one of the many new and innovative approaches in a new era of surgery encompassing minimal intervention.

Laparoscopic surgery refers to procedures in minimally invasive surgery isolated to the abdomen. In the late 1980's , technology evolved to a point where the images could be projected onto TV screens.
