Synonyms: keyhole surgery, laparoscopic surgery

This involves procedures performed by entering the skin via small incisions or by a body cavity, with two aims:

To produce the least possible damage to structures.
At the same time, to achieve the same result as if performed by open or more invasive surgery.

Specialist equipment is required, including fibre optics, camera and equipment with handles.

Contexte¹

The use of light-containing probes to view internal cavities has a long history. Philip Bozzini (1771-1809) a German-born urologist, was the earliest deviser of such equipment which was called the 'Lichtleiter' and was primarily used to examine the vaginal cavity. In 1877 Maximilian Carl-Friedrich Nitze produced the first workable cystoscope; this was also the first instrument with a mechanism to light the inside of an organ. In 1929 Heinz Kalk, a German gastroenterologist, used laparoscopy to diagnose hepatobiliary disease.

30 years later the automatic insufflator was invented and used to perform an appendectomy as part of a gynaecological procedure. However, it was not until the early 1980s that laparoscopic procedures began to be performed on a regular basis in the USA and, subsequently, the UK, leading to regulation regarding procedure and training aspects.

Recent advances include the use of robotic-assisted surgery²and single-point entry laparoscopy.³

Advantages and disadvantages of minimally invasive surgery

Avantages

Inconvénients

Less expensive.

Shorter duration of hospital stay.

Less trauma to the patient.

Less pain.

Less blood loss.

Smaller skin scars.

Becoming more common for major surgical procedures - eg, cardiac surgery.

Requires special equipment.

Specialist training is required.

Equipment is more expensive.

Some procedures, especially the latest ones, may take longer.

Some complications can be masked - eg, biliary peritonitis.

Patient suitability

Not all patients will be suitable for minimally invasive procedures. For example, raised body mass index, previous abdominal surgery leading to adhesions or other underlying medical conditions may affect the decision on whether to proceed towards more invasive surgery.

Types of procedures performed using minimally invasive surgery⁴

Body system	Procedures performed
Cardiaque	Closing atrial septal defects. Coronary artery bypass graft ('off pump'). Repairing patent foramen ovale. Valve surgery.⁵
Gastro-intestinal	Appendicectomy. Adrenalectomy. Cholecystectomy. Lymph node biopsy. Splenectomy. Hiatus hernia, umbilical and inguinal hernia repairs. Colonic cancer. Maladie diverticulaire. Maladie inflammatoire de l'intestin. Rectal prolapse. Dividing adhesions.
Gynaecological	Polypectomy. Sterilisation. Endometrial ablation. Fibroid removal.
Neurologique	Removal of pituitary tumours. Treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Carotid angioplasty. Radiosurgery for brain tumours.
Orthopaedic	Arthroscopy of joints. Carpal tunnel release. Pelvic fracture repair. Rotator cuff repair.

Vascular	Stenting carotid and renal arteries. Repair of thoracic and abdominal aneurysms.⁴ Varicose veins.

Complications⁷

Risks and complications of anaesthesia.
Saignement.
Infection.
Shoulder pain from CO₂ insufflation.
Injury to organs; this may go unnoticed - eg, biliary tract damage.
Maladie thromboembolique.
It may be necessary to proceed to open surgery if complications occur.
Décès.
