Laparoscopy is undoubtedly a ‘‘revolution’’ in modern surgery. It has rapidly become the ideal solution for many minor and less major abdominal surgical interventions (appendectomy, cholecystectomy, etc…). In more recent times, it has also proved very effective for major surgery (colectomy, splenectomy, adrenalectomy, nephrectomy, etc.), and, in most cases, laparoscopy seems to be the most appropriate treatment.
