Scope of laparoscopic surgery • Cholecystectomy • Appendectomy • Adrenalectomy • Colectomy • Hernioplasty • Diagnostic • Hiatus Hernia repair • Bariatric surgery • Adhesiolysis
Advantages of Lap Surgery • Day care surgery • Shorter hospital stay • Improved cosmesis • Faster recovery • Minimal pain • Small scar • Better preservation of respiratory function
The Art of surgery Clinical judgment Knowledge Dexterity
Surgical management requires • localization • Access • Surg procedure
Minimally invasive thyroid surgery • Minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy (MIVAT) • Totally endoscopic techniques that include an axillary approach, transcervical …
Outcome and prognosis • Better cosmesis • less postoperative pain and discomfort conventional thyroidectomy • shorter hospital stays.

Targeted Vs bilateral exploration RTCs comparing routine bilateral exploration vs limited exploration guided by IOPTH, show that bilateral exploration leads to the unnecessary removal of additional non-hypersecreting parathyroid glands Siperstein A, Prospective evaluation of sestamibi scan, ultrasonography, and rapid PTH to predict the success of limited exploration for sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism, Surgery 2004 Miccoli P, Endoscopic bilateral neck exploration versus quick intraoperativ e parathormone assay (qPTHa) during endoscopic parathyroidectomy: A prospective randomized trial, Surgery 1999
Indications for adrenalectomy • Incidentalomas • Primary hyperaldosteronism • Cushing syndrome • Pheochromocytoma • Neuroblastoma • Adrenocortical carcinoma • During surgery for RCC
