Laparoscopic surgery, also called minimally invasive surgery (MIS), bandaid surgery, keyhole surgery is a modern surgical technique in which operations in the abdomen are performed through small incisions (usually 0.5-1.5cm) as compared to larger incisions needed in traditional surgical procedures. Laparoscopic surgery includes operations within the abdominal or pelvic cavities, whereas keyhole surgery performed on the thoracic or chest cavity is called thoracoscopic surgery. Laparoscopic and thoracoscopic surgery belong to the broader field of endoscopy.

The key element in laparoscopic surgery is the use of a laparoscope. There are two types: a telescopic rod lens system, that is usually connected to a video camera (single chip or three chip) or a digital laparoscope where the charge-coupled device is placed at the end of the laparoscope, eliminating the rod lens system.[1] Also attached is a fiber optic cable system connected to a 'cold' light source (halogen or xenon), to illuminate the operative field, inserted through a 5 mm or 10 mm cannula or trocar to view the operative field. The abdomen is usually insufflated with carbon dioxide gas to create a working and viewing space. The abdomen is essentially blown up like a balloon (insufflated), elevating the abdominal wall above the internal organs like a dome. The gas used is CO2, which is common to the human body and can be absorbed by tissue and removed by the respiratory system. It is also non-flammable, which is important because electrosurgical devices are commonly used in laparoscopic procedures.

La colecistectomía laparoscópica es el procedimiento quirúrgico mediante el cual se extirpa la vesícula biliar, utilizando pequeñas incisiones en la pared abdominal por las cuales se introducen diferentes elementos ópticos conectados a un equipo de video e instrumental quirúrgico especialmente diseñado para tal fin .

La colecistectomía por vía laparoscópica es una de las técnicas mas ampliamente utilizadas, debido a que elimina la incisión quirúrgica, minimiza los efectos estéticos y tiene una morbilidad inferior en cuanto a dolor, problemas respiratorios, estancia hospitalaria y tiempo de recuperación.

El avance de la tecnología y de la especialización del servicio médico quirúrgico, ha redundado en bienestar psicológico para los pacientes, ya que por lo general el tiempo de estancia hospitalaria se interpreta como gravedad del problema. Cuando la integridad y salud no estén comprometidas, un paciente puede ser dado de alta a su domicilio , lo cual representará que la calidad de la atención médico quirúrgica fue óptima.

Aunque el egreso en el postoperatorio inmediato permite una reducción de costos al no existir hospitalización, es más importante que el paciente tenga una recuperación en lo posible libre de complicaciones.
