[edit] NOTES

On the NOTES page, it says that there is a suggestion to merge NOTES with the laparoscopic surgery article. As a general surgeon doing a laparoscopic fellowship, I do not think this should be done. NOTES is not a form of laparoscopy, they are separate techniques. I will add this comment to the NOTES page as well. Tulane97 18:37, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] external links

i was checking the article because i am going to have such a surgery and i found out that it had no external links...i added one that contains some videos...If you think it is inappropriate feel free to delete it !

I found some more interesting sites that i could add but i am not sure if I should add them or not as they may be considered as spam...

Laparoscopy can be used for different procedures -- the Advantages and Possible Benefits section needs to be edited (it is not clear, seems to discuss cancers and not gall bladder removal.)

I second that the advantages section needs to be changed. I'm a woman getting a laparoscopy for purposes related to cysts, endometriosis, and general reproductive health. My surgery has nothing to do with cancer.
