• Minimally-invasive surgery is a means of 
performing major operations through 
small incisions, 
• often using miniaturized, 
• high-tech imaging systems, 
• to minimize the trauma of surgical 
exposure . 
• small holes, big operations
Historical 
• Primitive laparoscopy, placing a cystoscope, 
was first performed by Kelling in 1901 
• In the late 1950s Hopkins described the 
rod lens, with no heat and little light loss 
• 4 By the mid-1970s rigid and flexible 
endoscopes made a rapid transition from 
diagnostic instruments to therapeutic ones 
• Fluoroscopic imaging allowed the adoption 
of percutaneous vascular procedures, the 
most revolutionary of which was balloon 
angioplasty

• The unique feature of 
endoscopic surgery in the 
peritoneal cavity is the need to 
lift the abdominal wall from the 
abdominal organs. 
• used by most surgeons, is the 
induction of a 
pneumoperitoneum.
Laparoscopic surgery
Thoracoscopy 
Without positive pressure, it is 
necessary to place a double-lumen 
endotracheal tube so that 
the ipsilateral lung can be 
deflated when the operation starts
