evaluation of infertility, pelvic pain or pelvic masses. With the development of surgical instruments and skills more advanced surgical

procedures are today performed laparoscopically. Laparoscopic surgery requires perfect technological environment and surgical training.

and litigations. Therefore informed consent is another important part in the strategy of minimal invasive approach. In this article rules

of safety laparoscopy are discussed.
