Abstract

Laparoscopic appendectomy and cholecystectomy were reported in the surgical literature in the 1980s. Advanced laparoscopic procedures including anti-reflux surgery, colon resections, inguinal hernia repair, solid organ surgery and bile duct explorations were reported in the 1990s and have been widely adopted internationally as procedures of choice by surgeons. Emergency laparoscopic bowel surgery has not been embraced with the same enthusiasm. There are multiple reasons for failure to adopt these techniques despite the fact that emergency laparoscopy has proven diagnostic and therapeutic advantages. Laparoscopic management of small bowel obstruction is feasible in selected patients.
