  • Laparoscopic Surgery History

    In the early 1900's laparoscopy was performed only on animals. When safer techniques were developed by the 1960's, laparoscopy procedures were used primarily for diagnostic testing. Some of the first operations performed were tubal ligations and gallbladder removal. Today the procedure has become widely used for various other operations including the removal of a kidney during live donor transplants.eMedicineHealth: Laparoscopy Overview
