The results of the first 181 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy and 12 patients who underwent laparoscopic colon resection in our hospital are described. Our results show that laparoscopic cholecystectomy has proved to be the standard surgical procedure for treating gallbladder disease. The place of laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of other abdominal diseases is less clear. Our results in laparoscopic colon surgery indicate that a laparoscopic approach in segmental colon resection is feasible. The operation time is long, however, expressing the long learning curve for the operating team, as well as the technical difficulties encountered with this minimal invasive method. On the other hand, it has been proved that large abdominal operations can be performed via the laparoscope. By improving the laparoscopic instruments and increasing the laparoscopic surgeon's experience, further application of this method in gastrointestinal surgery may be expected. Surgeons should, however, be aware of the long learning curve involved in advanced laparoscopic surgery.
