I've read that having had a c-section(s) can present problems for abdominal surgeries. But I don't know if that specifically applies to laparoscopic route or not. You may be able to do a web search and get some information. Keep in mind too that some doctors do not have laparoscopic skills and may not admit that is the reason for recommending a different route. Of course, this may or may not be the case for your doctor.
