Features: Laparoscopic surgery is a new technology that gradually developed in the late 20th century. Since the 1990s, it has developed rapidly and is now widely used in the treatment of various diseases in general surgery, gynecology and obstetrics, and urology. Since the introduction and implementation of laparoscopic cholecystectomy by the Second People's Hospital of Qujing Prefecture in 1991, laparoscopic surgery has quickly gained popularity in China due to its advantages such as minimal trauma, rapid patient recovery, and reduced pain, especially its cost-effectiveness. It has achieved good results and is well-received by both patients and physicians.
