  Pediatric laparoscopy, as a minimally invasive technique, has important applications in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric surgical diseases and has shown unique advantages. Since laparoscopy allows the surgeon to observe the entire abdominal cavity with minimal impact on the child by simply inserting a lens through a 3L or 5L incision in the umbilical fossa, it has abolished the use of traditional “open exploratory surgery” and eliminated the need for incision in the diagnosis of some diseases. At the same time, due to the improvement of laparoscopic operation technology and surgical instruments, most of the pediatric abdominal surgeries can be done laparoscopically, which makes a big leap forward in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric abdominal diseases.
