What is Laparoscopic Urology

Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery (MIS), or keyhole surgery, is one of the most recent surgical techniques in which operation is performed using a small incision. A flexible, thin tube known as Laparoscope, having a camera on its head is passed through the incision which projects the images on the monitor. The doctor performs the surgery by viewing the images on the screen.

This minimally invasive surgical option is used to treat almost all types of cancerous and non-cancerous urological conditions associated with various urologic organs such as the adrenal, bladder, kidney, testis, and prostate.

  • Renal Cyst Surgery: The cyst on the kidney is usually benign; however they are prone to infection and can be painful or in worst cases can affect the functioning of the kidney. This cyst is removed by the renal cyst surgery procedure also called unroofing.
  • Pyeloplasty, Pyelolithotomy, Ureterolithotomy: It is a non-invasive reconstructive surgery that offers a less invasive option to open surgery in treating the conditions develop in the area where the ureter joins the renal pelvis
