Laparoscopic techniques are continuing to be developed and refined. While laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallstone disease has now been practiced for 15 years and is well established and documented, with long-term results available for laparoscopic antireflux surgery, data regarding laparoscopic procedures for common bile duct stones, colon surgery, and other gastrointestinal procedures are still scarce, and the numbers of randomized studies are very limited. The largest number of presentations this year was on antireflux surgery.

Complex forms of intracorporeal abdominal surgery, including hand-sutured anastomoses using a surgical robot, are now being adopted, as illustrated in a series of technically and clinically successful biliary pancreatic diversions with duodenal switch [1] and gastric banding [2].

Laparoscopy is now also being used as a companion technique for wireless capsule endoscopy, and has been successfully applied in half of the small-intestinal operations carried out for bleeding sources identified with the capsule [3].

With regard to percutaneous treatment, and radiofrequency therapy in particular, new developments of the technique and also large clinical series with established methods were presented.
