Editorial

Welcome to World Journal of Laparoscopic Surgery.
Reflecting on the activities of World Association of Laparoscopic Surgeons, all of us were
privileged to experience in the past from participating in 3rd World Congress of Laparoscopic
Surgeons held in Gurgaon on 14th and 15th of February 2012. I am thankful for having an opportunity
to learn, for meeting amazing surgeons and gynecologists from more than 35 countries, and for
gaining an appreciation for the world of laparoscopy from many different points of views.
Emerging from this appreciation is the concept on creating awareness that even though
participating in live robotic and advanced laparoscopic surgery can be very rewarding and fun.
There are many organizations that for years, and they continue to do so, have worked hard advocating for advancement
of minimal access surgery. But, I think maybe it’s time for not only organizations but also for every individual surgeon to
be involved with this cause.
In present era, minimal access surgery is a necessity not luxury and World Journal of Laparoscopic Surgeons focuses
on recent advances and prevention of complications of MIS, and help us to become safe surgeon and skilled surgeon.
It serves the worldwide community in general to cover information about minimal access surgery. The mission is to
educate, inform, have knowledge and save lives, by producing a unique and high-quality journal to further educate and
create awareness for the physicians to be involved in minimal access surgery.
I want to welcome you and invite you to join us in this cause, visit our online journal regularly, tell a friend, get
involved, send us feedback, submit articles, share your knowledge or share with us who is making a difference in doctors
communities and around the world.
