Where can I find out how many laparoscopic operations happen each year in the US?

I am trying to find out how many laparoscopic operations happened each year for the last 10 years and how many were gastrointestinal how many were gynae etc. I have tried the National Centre for Health Statistics website but there is so many data sources there I don't know which if any will hold this data.
