Abstract
In 1987, the practice of videosurgery in the hands of the French surgeons Mouret and Perissat began one of the greatest revolutions in the history of the art of surgery, comparable to such landmark advances as the discovery of anesthesia and development of antibiotic therapy. Minimally invasive surgery has reduced suffering, decreased metabolic changes, and sped up patient recovery, being welcomed quickly and enthusiastically in operating rooms around the world.
The steady improvement in optical systems as well as the instruments used in videosurgery has allowed increasingly complex operations to be performed by minimally invasive methods.
For more than 20 years, videosurgery has been the gold standard for treating gallstones. New surgical approaches have been proposed as substitutes or complements to traditional, i.e., conventional videolaparoscopy, such as NOTES (natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery), needlescopy, and surgery by single access or LESS (laparoendoscopic single-site surgery). NOTES remains in the experimental stages, while LESS is a step ahead and expected to soon see widespread use.
In this chapter, the techniques, indications, possible contraindications, and preliminary results of LESS cholecystectomy are discussed.
