Adoption of laparoscopic general surgery is not widespread in low- and middle-income countries such as Pakistan due to barriers, prompting evaluation of its safety and efficiency.
Laparoscopic general surgery in Pakistan demonstrates safety and efficiency outcomes comparable to global standards, though higher BMI and prolonged operative times increase complication risks.
