چکیده

The marriage in 1960 of the Hopkin's rod-lens system and Storz laparoscope with its fiberoptic light delivery system enabled physicians to view body cavities with greater illumination, clarity, and field of view than ever before. During those times, ENT endoscopic surgery blossomed, and the era of gynecological "Band-Aid" surgery began.
