Types of MAS • Endoscopy • Vaginal hysterectomy • Vascular access • Transurethral resection of the prostate • Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy • Angiography and angioplasty • Arthroscopy • Laparoscopy and thoracoscopy (1987: 1st Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy)
Historical Resistance to Pediatric MAS • “Children don’t experience pain.” • “We already use small incisions anyway.” • “Laparoscopy is only of cosmetic value.” • “Laparoscopic cases don’t really apply to children.” • “Just because we can do it, should we?” • “It’s too expensive.” • “We don’t have small enough equipment.” • “It’s too hard to do, and too hard to learn.” • “The cases take too long to set up, and to do.” A little history: Concept of asepsis took 20 years to be accepted
