Abstract
Since the systematic introduction of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in 1989, questions continue to arise whether MIS compares to conventional surgery in terms of efficacy and safety. Two special triggers for this quest were first the appearance of the port-site metastases after laparoscopic colon resection for cancer and second the progressive imperative to make surgical practice an objective science. Since then evidence-based surgery (EBS) has proven that MIS is a tremendous advancement in Surgery.
