Laparoscopic Urological Procedures

What is Laparoscopic Surgery?

Laparoscopic urological surgery, also known as minimally invasive or keyhole surgery, involves making small incisions (usually 0.5-1 cm) instead of large cuts. A laparoscope (thin tube with a camera) and specialized instruments are inserted through these small openings, allowing surgeons to perform complex procedures with precision.

Advantages of Laparoscopic Surgery

• Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
• Reduced blood loss during surgery
• Less post-operative pain
• Faster recovery and return to normal activities
• Shorter hospital stay
• Lower risk of infection
