1. Laparoscopic appendectomy

2. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy

3. Laparoscopic duodenal perforation closure

4. Laparoscopic Fundoplication

5. Laparoscopic hernioplasty(TEP, TAPP, IPOM)

6. Truncal vagotomy and gastrojejunostomy

7. Radical D2 subtotal and total gastrectomy

8. Radical right and left hemicolectomy

9. Anterior resection
