… tutto quello che avreste voluto sapere sulla laparoscopia ma non…

Surgery is a medical specialty which, etymologically, is defined as the practice of healing through the use of the hands. It therefore involves physically acting on tissues through incisions and sutures.

Surgery, as defined above, has existed since ancient times, as the earliest traces of surgical procedures date back to prehistoric eras, when our ancestors already performed trephinations and incisions.

Throughout the centuries and across history, humankind has always placed mind and creativity at the service of innovation. Medicine and surgery benefited greatly from this.

To move from barbers to recognised physicians, the first surgeons had to wait for the French Revolution. The reunification of medical and surgical professions granted surgeons the right to access official university teaching and research. This made it possible to improve anatomical and physiological knowledge, as well as the rules of asepsis.

Thus, modern surgery was born.

In 1944, a French gynaecologist, Professor Raoul Palmer, had the brilliant idea of introducing an illuminated scope into the peritoneal cavity of a patient for diagnostic purposes. From a spark of creativity, the master concept of laparoscopy timidly appeared—an innovation that would forever change abdominal and digestive surgery, and many other specialties.

In 1972, Doctors Bruat and Manhes performed the first conservative treatment of an ectopic pregnancy at the Hôtel-Dieu in Clermont-Ferrand.

In 1987, Professor Philippe Mouret carried out the first laparoscopic cholecystectomy at the Clinique de la Sauvegarde in Lyon.

Imagine the upheaval of an entire community, eager to learn and develop the surgery of tomorrow.

Laparoscopy means offering patients a less aggressive treatment, promising fewer infections, fewer parietal complications and less postoperative pain. This ensures a shorter and more comfortable postoperative recovery, and a faster return to normal life.

The saying “big incision, big surgeon” is no longer Gospel.

From its beginnings to the present day, laparoscopy has become the preferred approach for trained surgeons in many indications. The (non-exhaustive) list continues to grow over the years, thanks to experience, the ideas of the most ingenious surgeons, and the sharing of this knowledge in the service of others.

We can treat everyday conditions as well as surgical emergencies, abdominal wall hernias, remove the gallbladder, treat cancer even at advanced stages, and address obesity. Laparoscopy also becomes a valuable diagnostic tool in certain indications. Not to mention our many colleagues in other specialties who now also treat thoracic, joint and urological diseases through video-assisted surgery.

Today, expert centres in laparoscopic surgery exist worldwide. Thousands of surgeons of all ages, genders and backgrounds work every day to learn the fundamentals and refine their technical skills. Students look up to these experienced Masters, who will pass on their knowledge, changing the lives of thousands of patients.

Through determination and experience, tomorrow’s surgeons will continue to refine procedures and techniques, making surgery ever less aggressive and ever more respectful of patients’ physiology.

Through this book, you will be presented with a broad overview of what laparoscopy is today.

It is up to you to use it.
