Advantages of using modern minimally invasive technologies in acute surgical pathology of the abdominal cavity

Minimally invasive technologies are gaining popularity in Ukraine due to their high treatment efficiency, low number of complications, and high cost-effectiveness. A significant problem in modern Ukrainian medicine is the use of laparoscopic equipment of different generations, which can lead to diagnostic and medical errors and prevent the expected results. Aim - to analyze the prevalence of minimally invasive treatment methods in Ukrainian hospitals; to study, divide minimally invasive equipment into groups depending on its time of origin and capabilities, assess the advantages and disadvantages of each group and the possibility of using minimally invasive equipment, taking into account the technical generation in Ukrainian hospitals. A literature review was conducted using Medline, PubMed and scientific literature. We analyzed the development of minimally invasive and robotic surgery and articles reporting data on their application. Conclusions. The growing popularity of minimally invasive technologies and robotic surgery in Ukraine leads to the emergence of new equipment in Ukrainian hospitals. There is a problem of the emergence of various equipment in the absence of standardization of indications and contraindications for surgical interventions depending on the equipment of a particular hospital in Ukraine.
