Abstract
Laparoscopy has emerged as a spin-off to technological advancement in the
field of general surgery that not only aims to minimize the operative trauma to the
patient but also to consummate the surgical endpoint. It has succeeded in curtailing the
length of scars over the patient thus being able to bring less disfigurement to the
patient. It has proven frugal to the patients as it reduces the operative period, and stay
in the hospital and eases comparatively early resumption of the work. It has taken the
edge off the psychological trauma the patient undergoes, thus adding to better surgical
outputs. The long learning curve and the intraoperative complications including
bleeding have proven arduous but the adoption of new technology has succeeded to
master these complications.
