described in recent publication of 1000 cases (in a series that now surpases 1700), without mortality, conversion to open surgery or common bile duct injuries. Using the new MINI instruments we could safely complete more than 97% of cases only with mini instruments. In the case of placement one 5mm trocars (what is standard by the author of the present paper), we consider it to be a conversion to laparoscopic cholecistectomy. In order to avoid the use of mini-scopes, all gallbladders are removed in a bag, and most of our cases are discharged in less than 24h with virtually no pain. Currently, MINI Clipless is a 1-day surgery, safe, with all the advantages of laparoscopy, highly reproducible, cost effective, and with great aesthetic appeal. Another great advantage of the MINI that usually is forgotten by many authors (who are really wanting to address the cosmetic issue) is the enhanced view. A surgeon that uses MINI can work much closer to the subject without being disturbed by the 5mm forceps. Mathematically speaking, we can find gains up to 2.7x in magnification when using MINI equipments. In endoscopic surgery, peripheral vision is limited by the visual field of the laparoscope. In this tunnel vision, thinner instruments occupy less space, and a much better view can be obtained. MINI instruments fit well into the concept of amplified vision provided by laparoscopes. The increase in vision scale seen in laparoscopy does not find a perfect partnership with conventional 5-mm instruments, and they become a coarse instrument for dealing with more delicate situations, such as biliary anastomosis, resection of a sympathetic ganglion adherent to the vena cava, or dissection of the deferens duct from the hernia sac during hernia surgery. This is especially important in retroperitoneal surgeries, where the space is naturally restricted and inadvertent movements may result in peritoneal perforations thus causing gas escape and further space reduction. More delicate surgeries should be preferably done by minilaparoscopy, because you can get closer vision and work with more precision due to the size of the instruments. Current technical limitations of MINI are being resolved by the efforts of the industry in crafting more resistant and higher performance instruments. Even though MINI instruments are more delicate, when properly used they do not need much more maintenance then 5-mm laparoscopy instruments. Current Low Friction MINI trocars (unlike their ancestors from the 90s) do not have a sealing membrane (what can be called as mo rubber trocars). They have very low friction and therefore almost no force is needed to move the instruments inside the trocars, which prevents the undesirable movement (and eventually the total displacement) of the trocars. Another important achievement of the new MINI trocars is that they have a ball shaped dilating tip with smooth transition between tip and cannul, allowing for minimal skin incision by radially dilating the skin, muscle layers and fascia. Adding this with the abscence of friction with rubber, there is no dislocation of trocar during operation and improved cosmesis at the site of penetration of the trocar. The ball shaped tip introducer
