Grants 288 Introduction and outline of this thesis The word laparoscopy is derived from the Greek words lapara, meaning “the soft part of the body between ribs and hip, flank, loin,” and skopein, which means “to look at or survey” 1 Introduction Chapter 1 History In the following years laparoscopy became an accepted diagnostic procedure and gynecologists became the users and advocates of this new technique. After the introduc- History of laparoscopy tion of the dual puncture technique by Kalk, it became possible to perform therapeutic By the end of the 19th century, endoscopes had been well established for evaluating the interventions in the abdominal cavity.14 In the early 1930s the first reports of laparoscopic urinary tract, anorectum1,2, larynx, esophagus and stomach.3 At that time the chest and interventions, mainly adhesiolysis and biopsies, were published by Fervers and Ruddock.15 abdomen were not yet accessible for endoscopy. The first laparoscopy is attributed to Fervers still used oxygen as distention medium and noticed small explosions in the George Kelling, a German surgeon from Dresden, who started to follow Mikulicz with abdominal cavity while using instruments with high frequency electrical current for stomach insufflations and in 1901 examined the abdominal cavity from a dog by inserting coagulation. He concluded it was safer to use carbon oxide as distention medium.16 a cystoscope through a small incision in the abdominal wall and using pneumoperitone- Boesch, a Swiss gynecologist performed the first tubal ligation by electro coagulation in um for better visualization.4 Subsequently, he wanted to apply this method, called ‘celios- 193617 and the first ectopic pregnancy diagnosed by laparoscopy was published in 1937.18 copy’, in humans, but his first putative subjects either refused or died prematurely, so In 1938, Janos Veress, a Hungarian physician, developed a needle to create a pneumo- hence he was not the first to publish the use of celioscopy in humans. A Swedish inter- thorax in patients with tuberculosis. This spring-loaded needle consisted of an inner nist, Hans Christian Jacobaeus, who developed his method in the same period, was the stylet that automaticly converted the sharp edge to a rounded and incorporated a side first to publish about this new endoscopic technique used in humans and called it ‘lapa- hole.19 The needle was quickly adopted by laparoscopists for creating the pneumoperito- roscopy’.5,6 (Figure 1) In the same year, Bernheim, a surgeon at John Hopkins School of neum with minimal risk of injuring intra abdominal organs and for most gynecologists Medicine described his early experiences with the technique and called it ‘organoscopy’.7 the ‘Veress Needle’ is still the instrument of choice. In the decades thereafter, several refinements for the laparoscopic technique were invent- The next revolution in laparoscopy was the development of the rod-lens system by Har- ed. The trocar endoscope in 19128, the sharp pyramidal point of the trocar for puncture in old Hopkins20 and the cold light by Karl Stortz. This development allowed laparoscopists 19209, the needle for induction of the pneumoperitoneum in 192110, the insufflator in to see more clearly and reduced the risk of thermal injuries due to incandescent light. 192111, and widening of the viewing angle of the laparoscope in 1923.12 For insufflation of After the publication of Raoul Palmer, a French gynecologist, in the mid 1950s there was a the abdominal cavity, filtered air or oxygen was used until in 1924 Zollikofer, a Swiss rapid growth of laparoscopy.

For patient safety he stressed to monitor the abdominal Figure 1. Pioneers of laparoscopy 105 pressure and to maintain it at 25 mmHg.21 In 1961, Palmer was the first gynecologist to recover an oocyte for in vitro fertilization using laparoscopy.22 Interestingly, Patrick Step- toe was inspired by Palmer whom he met for the first time at a conference in Amsterdam in 1959. His laparoscopic experience was noted by Richard Edwards and their co-opera- tion eventually led to the first laparoscopic oocyte retrieval (on November 10th, 1977) to result in a successful pregnancy.23 Unfortunately, the wider use of laparoscopy lead to a higher incidence of complications and the enthusiasm for laparoscopic surgery was tempered in the 60s and 70s. The Ger- man gynecologist Kurt Semm, who was a strong advocate for laparoscopic surgery, played a vital role in keeping laparoscopy alive in those years. (Figure 2) He contributed greatly to the development of operative laparoscopy and his team provided several im- portant new developments in instrumentation. Examples are an automatic insufflation device, a bipolar coagulation instrument, a tissue morcellator, a suction and irrigation system and many others.24,25 Forty year after the development of the Verris needle, Harrith Hasson, an American gynecologist, improved the safety of laparoscopy with the develop- ment of the ‘Hasson trocar’, an instrument applied for an open entry technique.26 Semm’s commitment to laparoscopy and teaching also lead to the invention of the Pelvi- trainer (box trainer), which allows trainee’s until today to learn the specific psychomotor skills needed for laparoscopic surgery.27 In 1982, Semm performed the first laparoscopic appendectomy. However, he did not report this breakthrough not until 1983 as the public 10 11 Introduction Chapter 1 and professional perception of laparoscopic surgery was still hostile at the time.28 In the Robot assisted laparoscopic surgery is considered by many to be the next major evolution 70s, he was even forced to change the name laparoscopy into pelviscopy.29 in minimal invasive surgery. The first concept of surgical robotics was developed in the In the late 70’s and early 80’s there was a turning point due to the development of video late 80’s at the National Aeronautics and Space Centre (NASA).35 In 1994 the FDA laparoscopy by Camran Nezhat, an American gynecologist.
