History and origin of laparoscopy

History and origin of laparoscopy From the year 1929 when Heinz Kalk published the first 100 laparoscopic examinations completed in 1951 with a figure of more than 2000 studies with zero mortality, the pioneers of laparoscopic surgery as Ruddok introducer of laparoscopic surgery in the USA. , confirms the interest of what he calls peritoneoscopy for anatomopathological and cytological studies of the biopsies taken.

Janos Veress designs and refines the needle that bears his name, which is applied to perform pneumoperitoneum in current laparoscopic surgery. Visit: http://www.evawomenshospital.com/gynaecology-laparoscopic-surgeon.html

Kurt Semm, German by birth, who besides being a gynecologist by profession is a vocation engineer, contributes in a decisive way to the development of laparoscopic surgery in the world, resolves some problems such as: the abdominal pressure of gas invents, the assembly of the cold light that is the precursor of the fiber optic cable currently in use, the irrigation system suction, is also his invention, as well as the technique for the development and perfection of extracorporeal knotting.

In 1982 he performed the first laparoscopic appendectomy, being the teacher who taught his techniques in Europe and the United States. Prof. Semm attended and actively participated in the First Congress of the Spanish Society of Laparoscopic Surgery held in Marbella in 2001. He is an honorary member of the Spanish Society of Laparoscopic Surgery (SECLA) since 2002.

The Dutchman Henk de Kok, goes from diagnostic laparoscopy to performing small interventions, is the inventor of a laparoscopic appendectomy technique, his results are published in the years 1977 and 1983 as well as in 1992.

The Hasson trocar, designed by its author MH Hasson in 1971, consists of a trocar equipped with a cap-shaped sheath that prevents air from leaving the pneumoperitoneum. It is currently used with full force.

Eric Muhe, of German origin, is interested in gallbladder surgery, designs a laparoscopy where the tube is of greater caliber and with indirect vision and equipped with valves that prevent the loss of the pneumoperitoneum. This author in 1985 performed the first laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the world, following with his sore technique to publish the completion of almost one hundred operations.

The works with experimental surgery developed by the Argentine Aldo Kleiman do not find echo in the surgical community of South America, for them "the vesicle cannot be extracted by a tube" Phillipe Mouret. With laparoscopic exploration in patients with abdominal pain, he discovers that he can apply therapeutic gestures, so in 1972 he solves a small bowel obstruction, followed by an appendectomy assisted by mini laparotomy. In his experience with laparoscopic surgery, he discovers that the gallbladder can be removed by laparoscopy, performing his first laparoscopic cholecystectomy in 1987 The work in common with Mouret allows Francois Dubois to develop new techniques such as vagotomy in the treatment of ulcus in 1989, apart from continuing to review the experience of laparoscopic cholecystectomies in the first years together with other surgeons Jacques Perissat tests the lithotripsy of gallbladder stones, prior to extraction. He is one of the pioneers in laparoscopic surgery in France.

Video surgery equipment with video cameras as well as the available instruments, facilitate laparoscopic surgery, and Mc Kerman American surgeon performs the first laparoscopic cholecystectomy and almost at the same time (1988) Reddick and Douglas Olsen operate the first cases of gallbladder surgery by laparoscopy. In the month of Febreros in 1990, Dr. Vincent at the Hospital de San Carlos in Madrid performed the first laparoscopic cholecystectomy in Spain, and in December of the same year we performed the first laparoscopic cholecystectomy in our Digestive Surgery Service of the Hospital "La Fe".

The American authors Jacobs and Plasencia of Hispanic origin, published the first cases of colon resection by laparoscopy in the year 1991.
