Abstract

The use of laparoscopy to evaluate the peritoneal cavity by direct vision was first described in 1902 by Kelling [1]. After development of the video endoscope in the 1980s, the success of laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedures stimulated surgical oncologists to consider applying minimally invasive surgical (MIS) techniques broadly to cancer patients.
