Abstract
More than quarter of a century of minimally invasive surgery has most certainly not passed in vain [1]. It has enabled us to reflect and make considerations and assessments that are certainly more objective than those of the past. An anecdote often circulated in those early days of laparoscopic surgery, even in influential editorials, about the gynecologist carrying out a pelvic laparoscopy who turned the optic upward to perform the first laparoscopic cholecystectomy and how later he would curse that moment [2].
