The last century has seen an evolution from major invasive surgery to minimally invasive therapies, which have provided great patient benefit with reduced morbidity.

As the practice of minimally invasive surgery has grown, the field has seen the development of newer advanced endoscopes, laparoscopes, laparoscopic instruments, light sources, insufflators, energy devices, and advanced minimally invasive techniques. Unfortunately, most of these advances have been designed for the adult human. Pediatric human patients and small animal patients have had the same struggle – limited information and technology available for this subset of patients. Small patients need smaller insufflators, smaller scopes, smaller instruments, and modified techniques for smaller spaces. Over the past several years, however, pediatric surgeons and small animal veterinarian surgeons have been working together to bring about the advancement of minimally invasive surgery in these smaller populations.
