[Laparoscopy: new technique in urology]
1Service d'Urologie, Hôpital Erasme, Bruxelles.
Abstract:
Laparoscopic surgery in urology is in a testing and development phase. The technique is currently used by some urologists to evaluate non-palpable testes and to perform varicocelectomy or pelvic lymphadenectomy. Other standard open surgical procedures are experimentally being performed with the laparoscope. Owing to technological advances laparoscopic surgery might become a part of routine urological care. We review the current impact of laparoscopy on urology, we emphasise the advantages but also the risks of this new approach, and discuss the benefit of these technical feats.
