Laparoscopic surgery has advanced for urologic diseases, particularly in lower urinary tract reconstruction. Improved techniques and instruments now enable complex procedures like urinary diversion and bladder reconstruction.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopy has been used for urologic disease management for a decade.
  • Reconstructive procedures for the lower urinary tract using laparoscopy have lagged behind due to technical challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the development of laparoscopic reconstructive surgery for the lower urinary tract.
  • To highlight advancements in techniques and technology enabling complex laparoscopic urologic reconstructions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical development and recent advancements in laparoscopic urologic reconstructive surgery.
  • Discussion of new instruments facilitating suturing and tissue approximation.

Main Results:

  • Laparoscopic approaches have been developed for nearly all open reconstructive urologic procedures.

  • Procedures include urinary diversion, bladder reconstruction, ureteral reimplantation, and urethrovesical anastomosis.

    • Conclusions:

    • Technological and skill advancements have renewed interest and feasibility in laparoscopic lower urinary tract reconstruction.
    • Laparoscopic reconstructive urology is now capable of performing a wide range of complex procedures previously only done with open surgery.
