Abstract
Endoscopic procedures are minimally invasive in nature, and have been found to decrease the postoperative stress response and postoperative pain compared with similar procedures performed by an open approach. There is an ongoing effort to make minimally invasive surgery even less invasive through research and the development of new and improved medical devices. This article provides a general overview of the necessary equipment and instrumentation that will assist practitioners in making decisions for the incorporation of endoscopy/endoscopic surgery into their practice.
