As a general surgeon in the 1960s, Phillipe Mouret (b. 1938) rotated on a gynecology service during which he had his first contact with laparoscopy.\u00a0\u201cAt that time we used the instruments constructed by Palmer,\u201d notes Mouret. \u201cSince then I have brought my interest in that particular endoscopie technique into surgery.\u201d\u00a0Mouret shared his surgical practice with a gynecologist and thus had access to both laparoscopic equipment and, importantly, to patients requiring laparoscopy. \u201cI could not understand why surgeons were not using laparoscopy, but still laparotomy. The patients clearly preferred laparoscopy,\u201d\u00a0stated Mouret in 1994. Mouret was using diagnostic laparoscopy in the 1970s, and, by the early 1980s, was able to sharpen his skills as instruments became more sophisticated. \u201cOriginally it [laparoscopy] had a strictly diagnostic purpose,\u201d remarks Mouret, \u201cthen it was used to obtain a better topographic overview before operating and finally, a small therapeutic-operative endoscope was developed, to complete endoscopie use.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Mouret, in 1983, unaware of Semm’s efforts, he carried out his first laparoscopic appendectomy (LA). \u201cThe first step was to expose the appendix laparoscopically and then to pull it out of the abdomen,\u201d notes Mouret. \u201cAfter that, I cut it off extracorporeally.\u201d\u00a0Mouret never attempted to publish his initial work on LA.<\/p>\n
