Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Laparoscopic Surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopy is a feasible alternative for many open abdominopelvic urological procedures.
  • Minimally invasive reconstructive urology is a recent development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the current state of the art in laparoscopic reconstructive urology.
  • To categorize and evaluate established and evolving laparoscopic reconstructive procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted an extensive MEDLINE search (1976-2002) of purely laparoscopic surgery.
  • Classified procedures into established (over 100 patients or 5 centers >20 patients each) and evolving categories based on organ involvement.

Main Results:

  • Established laparoscopic reconstructive procedures include pyeloplasty, radical prostatectomy, and orchiopexy.
  • Laparoscopic bladder neck suspension shows controversial long-term success rates.
  • Numerous other laparoscopic reconstructive procedures demonstrate promising results in smaller series.

Conclusions:

  • Laparoscopic urology has progressed from ablative to complex reconstructive procedures.
  • Laparoscopic surgery is increasingly favored for advanced urological reconstruction.
  • Future advancements are expected to expand the role of laparoscopy in urological reconstruction.
