HISTORY OF LAPAROSCOPY<\/strong><\/p>\n

The idea of \u200b\u200bminimally invasive surgery is not novel. The use of tubes and dilators in medicine began in the early days of the civilizations in Mesopotamia and ancient Greece.<\/p>\n

The beginnings of modern endoscopy date back to 1805, when Bozzini, a gynecologist from Frankfurt, used a candle as a light source to attempt to examine the vagina and female urethra through a thin tube.<\/p>\n

In 1897 Nitze, a urologist from Berlin, in collaboration with Reinecke, an optician also from Berlin, and Leiter, a tool maker from Vienna, built the first cystoscope, with a lens system and platinum wire as the light source.<\/p>\n

In 1901 Von Ott from St. Petersburg announced the first abdominal examination using a head mirror focusing on a dilator. A year later, Kelling, using a cystoscope and creating a pneumoperitoneum with filtered air, announced at a Hamburg conference the successful laparoscopy on a live dog.<\/p>\n

In 1910, Jacobaeus, a surgeon from Stockholm, performed laparoscopy and thoracoscopy on a human using a cystoscope.<\/p>\n

From 1920 to 1930, Kalk, the founder of the German School of Laparoscopy, designed many tools, promoted the spread of diagnostic laparoscopy in diseases of the liver and bile ducts, and paved the way for the development of surgical laparoscopy.<\/p>\n

This was followed by the development of laparoscopy in gynecology by Palmer (France), Frangeheim and Semm (Germany), Steptoe (Great Britain) and Phillips (USA).<\/p>\n

The evolution of fiber optics and the development of the lens system by the British physicist Hopkins in 1952, led to a rapid increase in the use of endoscopic and laparoscopic devices worldwide.<\/p>\n

The sources of modern laparoscopic surgery can be found at the Kiel School in Germany under the direction of gynecologist Semm. This center developed and perfected most of the tools and introduced most of the laparoscopic gynecological procedures that are still performed today.<\/p>\n

Although gynecologists have been using laparoscopy for several years, general surgery has been slow to follow suit. The first laparoscopically guided cholecystectomy was performed in an experimental model by Frimberger and colleagues in Germany in 1979. Semm and his team described the technique of laparoscopic appendectomy using a modified orthoscope and CO2 pneumoperitoneum in 1985.<\/p>\n

A relatively recent technological development was the introduction of the computer chip camcorder in 1986, which sparked the development of laparoscopic surgery in its current form.<\/p>\n

In 1987, Mouret in Lyon (France) was the first surgeon to perform a cholecystectomy on a human using specific laparoscopy equipment. The first published announcement of modern multiple intra-abdominal cholecystectomy was made by Dubois in Paris in 1989. Around the same time, the operation was performed by Perissat (in Bordeaux, France), Reddick (in Nashville, USA), Cuschieri and Nathanson (in Dundee, UK) and Berci (in Los Angeles, USA).<\/p>\n

Since then, the application of laparoscopic techniques has spread rapidly in the various specialties of surgery. There is no doubt that many parameters of current equipment can and will be improved in the near future to facilitate this beneficial method of minimally invasive surgery.<\/p>\n

Since the year 2000, the proliferation of robotic surgical systems has marked a new era in laparoscopic surgery, in which several of the limitations of classical laparoscopy are overcome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
