Despite the development reached in the endoscopic era, there are skeptics to the practice of reoperations due to minimal access surgery (MAS). In order to evaluate the outcome of the minimally invasive surgery in the reinterventions, a comparative, prospective, quasi-experimental study was performed in patients reoperated by conventional surgery (N = 64) and minimal access surgery (N = 32). , attended at the Provincial Teaching Surgical Clinical Hospital "Celia Sánchez Manduley" of Manzanillo, Cuba between 2013 and 2017. The evolution time for both series was similar, with 60% of patients in the first three days. The coleperitoneum (28.1%) and the hemothorax (28.1%) were the most represented conditions in the endoscopic cases, with aspiration and lavage being performed. 66.7% of the cases reoperated by MAS were initially treated by open surgery. a favorable evolution in 94.4%. The average surgical time was lower in the endoscopic series (70.8 min), (conventional surgery 89.8 min), 2 patients were converted to RR 3.54. The arithmetic mean of the hospital stay in the endoscopic series was 4.9 days, and 10.1 in the conventional series. In the endoscopic series, feeding was started early (5.1 hours), and labor reincorporation occurred at 17.6 days. The minimal access surgery allowed patients of all ages to safely undergo surgery, applying the same surgical techniques, with a surgical time slightly inferior to conventional surgery, hospital expenses were reduced due to the stay and early incorporation into social activities and productive.
