AB Key  Points  Minimally  invasive  surgery  describes  a  philosophical  approach  to  surgery  in  which  access  trauma  is  minimized  without  compromising  the  quality  of  the  surgical  procedure.  The  carbon  dioxide  pneumoperitoneum  used  for  laparoscopy  induces  some  unique  pathophysiologic  consequences.  Robotic  surgery  has  been  most  valuable  in  the  performance  of  minimally  invasive  urologic,  gynecologic,  colorectal,  and  complex  abdominal  wall  reconstruction  procedures.  Natural  orifice  transluminal  endoscopic  surgery  represents  an  opportunity  to  perform  truly  scar-free  surgery.  Single-incision  laparoscopic  surgery  reduces  the  amount  of  abdominal  wall  trauma  but  presents  unique  challenges  to  the  traditional  tenets  of  laparoscopic  ergonomics.  Laparoscopy  during  pregnancy  is  best  performed  in  the  second  trimester  and  is  safe  if  appropriate  monitoring  is  performed.  Laparoscopic  surgery  for  cancer  is  also  appropriate  if  good  tissue  handling  techniques  are  maintained.  Training  for  laparoscopy  requires  practice  outside  of  the  operating  room  in  a  simulation  laboratory.
