| Core Tip |
While laparoscopic surgery could have major positive effects on patients in low and middle income countries, this type of operation is not widely accessible in many parts of the world. The aim of this study was a systematic review of the literature on laparoscopic surgery in low in middle income countries in order to get a better understanding of first experiences made with minimal invasive surgical techniques and equipment. Out of over 3400 screened papers, 10 studies were selected and analised. We report on common challenges as well as on possible ways to overcome them. |
