The development of an optimal set of instruments for perfect grasping, cutting, sucking, and ligating and of a new system to perform hemostasis by endocoaguation through a trocar sheath 7 to 11 mm in diameter permits effective laparoscopic surgery. A total of 2,000 operative laparoscopies were performed safely between 1973 and 1976. Since 1977, laparoscopic surgery has been extended to the following procedures: myomectomy (subserous), adnexectomy, ovarian cyst resection, removal of a cystoma, and tubectomy in cases of tubal pregnancy. In 82 such cases, no intraoperative or postoperative complications occurred. The normal postsurgical healing procedure has been checked during 18 second-look laparoscopies and two consecutive laparotomies. These technical advances have opened up a new era of gynecologic surgery based on operative laparoscopy.
开发一套用于完美抓握、切割、抽吸和结扎的最佳器械，以及一种通过直径7至11毫米的套管鞘进行腔内凝血止血的新系统，使得有效的腹腔镜手术成为可能。1973年至1976年间共安全进行了2000例腹腔镜手术。自1977年以来，腹腔镜手术已扩展至以下手术：（浆膜下）子宫肌瘤切除术、附件切除术、卵巢囊肿切除术、囊腺瘤切除术以及输卵管妊娠情况下的输卵管切除术。在82例此类手术中，未发生术中或术后并发症。在18次二次探查腹腔镜检查和两次连续剖腹手术中检查了正常的术后愈合过程。这些技术进步开启了基于手术腹腔镜的妇科手术新时代。
