Abstract
The scope of reconstructive laparoscopy is currently limited by the difficult and time-consuming nature of laparoscopic suturing. Alternative methods to suturing, such as the use of biocompatible glues and laser tissue welding, have the potential to produce anastomoses which are immediately water-tight, achieved with less tissue trauma and reduce operating times.
