Laparoscopic surgery is a rapidly developing field in general surgery. The advantages of laparoscopic procedures are short postoperative courses, fewer wound-related complications, possible reduction in rate of late postoperative adhesions and better cosmetic results. Laparoscopic procedures are indicated in well-defined clinical settings, after enough experience has been acquired and technical problems solved. Children and adolescents may also benefit from laparoscopic procedures. The technique is suitable for cholecystectomies, appendectomies in selected cases, splenectomies, anti-reflux procedures, bowel resections, and diagnostic procedures, among others. In the past 3 years we have performed 65 laparoscopic procedures in patients younger than 17 years, including 10 cholecystectomies, 31 appendectomies and 7 Nissen fundoplications.
