laproscopic surgeries
Laparoscopic urological surgery, also known as minimally invasive urologic surgery, allows urologists to perform complex kidney, ureter, and bladder operations through very small incisions (usually 0.5–1 cm). This modern technique replaces the need for large open surgical cuts and offers patients quicker recovery with minimal discomfort.
A high-definition laparoscope (camera with light) is inserted through a tiny incision, giving the surgeon a clear and magnified view of the urinary organs on a monitor. Using specialized instruments through other small ports, the surgeon performs the required urological procedure with precision and minimal tissue trauma.
This technique ensures less postoperative pain, minimal blood loss, smaller scars, and an early return to normal life compared to traditional open surgery.
Common Laparoscopic Urological Procedures
- Laparoscopic Simple Nephrectomy
- Laparoscopic Radical Nephrectomy
- Laparoscopic Ureterolithotomy
- Laparoscopic Ureteric Reimplantation
- Laparoscopic Vesicovaginal Fistula (VVF) Repair
Advantages of Laparoscopic Urological Surgery
- Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
- Less postoperative pain
- Shorter hospital stay
- Faster recovery and early return to daily life
- Reduced risk of infection and complications
- Better cosmetic and functional outcomes
Procedure
- Anesthesia: Surgery is performed under general anesthesia.
- Ports/Incisions: Small incisions (ports) are made in the abdomen or flank.
- Laparoscope Insertion: A camera is inserted to visualize the urinary organs.
- Surgery: Specialized laparoscopic instruments are used to perform the urological procedure.
- Closure: Instruments are removed, and the small incisions are closed with sutures or glue.
