The techniques of endoscopic surgery have ushered a revolution in traditional surgery. Many operations which previously entailed substantial stress to patients can now be carried out endoscopically with minimal discomfort. This has led to more extensive use of endoscopic surgery, not least in risk patients. The endoscopic technique has the following advantages over open surgical procedures: less perioperative stress for the patient, minimal postoperative discomfort due to small incisions, in most cases only moderate postoperative pain, superior cosmetic results, short hospitalization times, performance on an outpatient or short-stay basis, shortened return to normal activity and savings in costs [6, 10, 15]. |
