This is a prospective randomized study involving 80 patients. All participates will be given written information on 3D laparoscopy. They will be randomized according to computer-generated random sequence into two groups, 2D and 3D group. The operation will then be performed either using 2D or 3D laparoscopy. Surgeons are allowed to change to the other type of laparoscopy if difficulty encountered. After the operation, the surgeons will be required to fill in a questionnaire self-evaluating the performance using Global rating scale component of the intraoperative assessment tool (GOALS), any discomfort encountered, any need for change of laparoscopy and their preference on the type of laparoscopy. The level of complexity of the operation, duration of operation, blood loss and complications will be recorded.
