DESARROLLO DE LA CIRUGÍA LAPAROSCOPICA: PASADO, PRESENTE Y FUTURO: DESDE HIPÓCRATES HASTA LA INTRODUCCIÓN DE LA ROBÓTICA EN LAPAROSCOPIA GINECOLÓGICA

Abstract

SUMMARY We understand by endoscope to those procedures that allow diagnosing and treated pathologies by means of instruments with which we observed in the interior of the human body. The first treatments by means of endoscope were made by Hipocrates. Soon through history the precursors, pioneers and so many others are multiple that gave inventions that allowed arriving until modern laparoscopy; becoming an indispensable tool in the present minimally invasive gynecological surgery. The new technologies have allowed developing the robotics technologies of which the laparoscopy procedures have not remained out. Thus the Da Vinci robot has born, who more than a technology of the future already constitutes a reality of the present in the gynecological laparoscopic surgery.
