Laparoscopic surgery has come a long way since its introduction two decades ago. In essence it represents a new era of technology-dependent surgical interventions, and to some extent its future progress depends on the growth of interventional technologies and devices (facilitative, enabling and additive). Laparoscopic surgery has had a significant impact on all surgical disciplines and is now firmly embedded in routine surgical practice. There remain, however, several outstanding issues that need to be addressed. These concern mainly quality assurance, training, resource allocation, assessment of competence and tiers of laparoscopic surgical practice in line with the changing situation facing the next generation of surgeons.
