Abstract
The collagens represent a vital component within the wound healing process and physiological scar formation. Therefore, analysing the influence of new operative procedures on collagen metabolism is of great surgical interest. As the endoscopic technique has, nowadays, become routinely applied for diverse abdominal diseases worldwide, we present a review of literature facing its impact on collagen biology.
