The more developed countries such as Japan, Australia and Singapore have greater capabilities to perform advanced laparoscopic surgeries such as laparoscopic colectomies. Over 50% of colectomies are performed laparoscopically in these developed countries, compared with under 20% in the less developed countries. In contrast, basic procedures such as cholecystectomies are performed laparoscopically in over 90% of the surgeries in developed countries, as opposed to 50-60% for the less developed countries.
