title: [Manually-assisted laparoscopic surgery].
abstract: The authors describe and discuss a new method of minimally invasive surgery--hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery. For the analysis they used recent data from the literature and their own experience. The main advantage is greater safety, better diagnosis by palpation and better preparation in the abdominal cavity. The main disadvantage is the cost of the method.
