Key Laparoscopic Urology Procedures

Surgical treatment of the kidney, partially (partial nephrectomy) or completely (radical nephrectomy).
Often used for treating kidney cancer, non-functioning kidneys, or large kidney cysts.

Removes ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) blockage that stops continuous urine flow from the kidney to the bladder.
Provides precise reconstruction with minimal interference to adjacent tissues.

This surgical technique, specifically designed for patients suffering from prostate cancer, consists of the removal of the prostate gland with a high degree of minimally invasive surgery.
Results in faster recovery and fewer complications compared to open prostatectomy.

This method involves the removal of the bladder which may be caused by bladder cancer through minimally invasive techniques.
Cystectomy can be either partial or radical, that is, the options are available depending on the condition.

This medical procedure treats vesicoureteral reflux (backflow of urine) or ureteral obstruction by relocating ureter into the bladder.

Taking out the adrenal glands that are infected with tumors or have overactivity.
A minimally invasive treatment for such conditions as adrenal carcinoma or pheochromocytoma.

Benefits of Laparoscopic Urology

Laparoscopic urology has the edge over traditional open surgeries due to:

Minimized Pain and Discomfort: Minimal cuts mean less damage to tissues which results in less pain post-surgery.
Faster Recovery Time: Most patients just go back to their regular activities in a few weeks after they start to get their lives back.
Reduced Scarring: Keyhole incisions are the design that gives smaller openings or cuts which make the scar less noticeable.
Lower Risk of Infection: The internal organs are less exposed, and thus the infection risks are reduced..
Improved Surgical Precision: High-quality images provide precise procedures to preserve healthy tissues.
Shorter Hospital Stay: A majority of laparoscopic surgeries are executed as outpatient procedures, which decreases the number of days in the hospital.

Through the use of laparoscopy in urology, the patient can get relief from different urological conditions such as:

Kidney Cancer: Cancerous tumors are removed from the patient’s kidney with either partial or total nephrectomy.
Kidney Stones: Taking out big or complicated stones which cannot be managed in non-surgical ways.
Prostate Cancer: Minimally invasive procedures to remove prostate cancer include this operation.
Bladder Cancer: The treatment of localized tumors through partial or complete bladder removal
Ureteral Strictures: Correction or bypass of the narrowed ureters in order to reinstate normal urine flow.
Adrenal Tumors: Removal of the tumors responsible for hormonal imbalances or associated complications.
