Abstract

The experience of surgical difficulties is highly subjective and is primarily dependent on the nature of the procedure, however, training, aptitude, and the natural ability of an individual surgeon contribute significantly to a “difficult” procedure. As a result, no text can be all inclusive and therefore, this chapter is not written exclusively for experts. This chapter will attempt to cover issues that many have mastered, as well as those subtleties that continue to frustrate the most accomplished laparoscopist.
