Laparoscopic surgery is the gold standard for many procedures in human surgery, yet is still in its infancy in veterinary surgery. Often called "keyhole surgery" in the lay press it is also referred to as minimally invasive surgery, endosurgery, or videosurgery (see the glossary). In the United Kingdom it is estimated that less than 1% of suitable veterinary procedures are performed by minimally invasive surgical techniques.
