A history of surgery is not a contraindication to laparoscopy, unless the surgery has caused severe abdominal adhesions. A history of multiple surgeries, such as intestinal surgery, causes dense, extensive adhesions around important organs or tissues (e.g., adhesions in the ureter, bowel curvature), which can easily cause damage to important organs or tissues during the process of separating the adhesions and make laparoscopic surgery difficult to perform. Other than that, laparoscopic surgery is easier to perform and less invasive, and most patients who have had abdominal surgery can undergo laparoscopic surgery. Other contraindications to laparoscopic surgery include obesity, removal of malignant tumors in the abdomen, poor general condition that is not suitable for surgery or patients who are old, with bleeding disorders, coagulation disorders, vital organ insufficiency, difficult to tolerate surgery and anesthesia, as well as those who have pacemakers, septic patients, and those with severe arrhythmia. If patients with previous surgical history want to have laparoscopic surgery, they should explain their situation clearly to their attending doctors, who will combine the results of the patient’s examination with their condition to make a professional judgment on whether they can have laparoscopic surgery.
