Surgical Laparoscopy & Endoscopy
|April 1, 1995
Abstract:
Laparoscopic surgery is rapidly being assimilated into the urologic armamentarium. Already many operations commonly done by an open approach are being performed laparoscopically. We report on the laparoscopic performance of a simple cystectomy in a spinal cord-injured male patient suffering from recurrent pyocystis. The procedure proved to be technically feasible, with the patient experiencing a short convalescence period.
