5 This book is dedicated to C. Elton Cahow, MD Carmalt Professor of Surgery at Yale We acknowledge his leadership; we seek to emulate his clinical skill; we celebrate his life.

6 Preface In May 1997 the Faculty of Surgery from the University of Athens and elsewhere gathered with colleagues in Athens for the third time in 6 years to continue our discussions on the progress, problems, realization, and future of laproscopic surgery. The topics were rather inclusive with regard to the issues that defined the field, and the assembled investigators, educators, and clinicians brought a rich experience and clear vision of the field in the coming years. The decision had been made months before to collect our thoughts and experience as a colloquium of the state of laproscopic surgery in the tenth year following the report of Mouret on laparoscopic cholecystectomy, not as the proceedings of the specific meeting. At the end of a decade of mercurial advance, heated debate, professional turmoil, and very little science, it was clear that general surgery would never be the same. Laproscopic surgery is now fully established and requires accommodation in the curriculum, practice, and research of surgery for the foreseeable future. This book is called a colloquium on laparoscopy because it collects the thoughts of many workers in the form of consensus presentations. It is offered to any surgeon who is ready to survey this field with clear eyes, absent of emotion or hyperbole, in our evolution of a better standard of care for surgical patients. I offer my profound gratitude to Professor Basil Golematis for his friendship and collegiality in planning the meetings between Yale and the University of Athens. I thank the contributing authors for their efforts and the scholarship that supports these pages. All of us express our gratitude for the life and work of our friend Professor Elton Cahow, Carmalt Professor of Surgery at Yale, for his leadership, vision, and energy in making laparoscopic surgery a matter of excellence and common effort in our work as surgeons. Professor Cahow initiated this conference, and to him we dedicate the colloquium. Ronald C. Merrell, MD, FACS vii
