Each patient’s condition is different and varies greatly on an individual basis, so it is important for patients to seek consultation and surgery with an experienced laparoscopist for greater safety and accuracy. Laparoscopic surgery should be done only if the patient is suitable for laparoscopic surgery. Patients who are not suitable for laparoscopic surgery should undergo traditional open surgery. The patient’s safety and interests should come first. Surgeons should choose to develop the best surgical plan for the patient’s surgical condition. Every surgery has surgical indications and contraindications, as is the case with traditional open surgery and as is the case with laparoscopic surgery.
