Abstract

In recent decades, the operative approach for several gynecologic diseases has changed from laparotomy to laparoscopy. New techniques and indications are continuously being developed. Laparoscopy offers a lot of advantages for the patient, but still a lot of additional data are required to determine the exact indications. Operative laparoscopy requires not only skill and experience, but also specialized equipment and paramedical staff. The most important topics for the gynecologist will be reviewed in this article.
