How does the surgeon determine weather you are a better candidate for Lap Vs. Open?

How does the surgeon determine weather you are a better candidate for Lap Vs. Open? Is there some criteria that helps determine which is better for you? I know this is kind of a doctor question, but thought maybe some pre-ops or post-ops might have asked this question when interviewing their surgeon. Thanks!!
