Laparoscopic surgeries are performed even in the remotest areas of the world today and are not bereft of complications. This article is an effort to provide the surgeons with a quick check note on patient preparation before a laparoscopic surgery. It hopes to remind them of some of the unique difficulties brought about by pneumoperitoneum and positioning and the measures which may be needed to counter them.
