Preface
Many pioneers with different specialties have contributed to the development of
operative laparoscopy: It was the urologist Max Nitze (1848-1906) who invented
cystoscopy as the very first step of endoscopic surgery. The gastroenterologist and
surgeon Georg Kelling (1866-1945) constructed an air insufflation apparatus and
performed the first laparoscopy on a dog. The gynaecologist Hans Frangenheim built
the first abdominal insufflator and the gynaecologist Kurt Semm (1923-2003) – known
as the father of operative gynaecologic endoscopy – performed the first laparoscopic
appendectomy.
Today, laparoscopy is widely used by urologists, surgeons, and gynaecologists.
Technical advances of recent years have now enabled us to perform most of the open
procedures laparoscopically.
The today’s spectrum includes benign and cancer surgery in all three disciplines of
urology, surgery, and gynaecology, and has led to decreased surgery-conditioned
morbidity since laparoscopic surgery – when compared to open surgery – reduces
blood loss, postoperative pain, hospital stay and duration of recovery, respectively. It
is, therefore, self-evident that a universal textbook of laparoscopy has to cover
important procedures of all three disciplines.
Experts of each field have written informative chapters which give practical
information about certain procedures, indication of surgery, complications and
postoperative outcome. Wherever necessary, the appropriate chapter is illustrated by
drawings or photographs.
May this open access book reach many endoscopic surgeons around the globe to
enable them to improve their laparoscopic skills, to broaden their spectrum, or just to
inspire them about this beneficial technique.
