Laparoscopic Urology
Procedure Overview
Laparoscopic urology uses small incisions and a camera-guided scope to perform a range of urological procedures, reducing blood loss, scarring, and recovery time compared with open surgery.
Who Needs It
Suitable for patients requiring surgery for conditions such as kidney tumors or UPJ obstruction, where a laparoscopic approach is technically appropriate.
Preparation
Preparation includes imaging, blood tests, an anesthesia assessment, and fasting.
