The advantages over open surgery are serveral: patients have less pain as they have a few small scars instead of 1 big one, so they generally require fewer revalidation afterwards. Disadvantages are that you can't do everything laparoscopic, it is easier to miss a few things, it costs more, and demands more technical skills from the surgeon. In general, the outcome of for example appendic removal laparoscopic vs open are disputed. Both have good results, though the laparoscopic might do better the first days after surgery. After 2 weeks, most research shows no difference. As a rule of thumb, it's best to let the surgeon decide what he/she thinks is best, and what he/she can do best.
