Laparoscopic surgery uses small incisions and specialized instruments to perform surgeries, making it a less invasive option than traditional open surgery.

Common Procedures:

• Nephrectomy: Removal of the kidney, usually due to cancer or severe damage.
• Pyeloplasty: Surgical repair of a blocked renal pelvis, which causes hydronephrosis.
• Adrenalectomy: Removal of adrenal glands, often for tumors or adrenal hyperplasia.
• Prostatectomy: Removal of the prostate, typically for prostate cancer.

Benefits:

• Reduced blood loss
• Shorter recovery time
• Minimal scarring
• Reduced risk of infections and complications

Outcome: Laparoscopic urology often provides excellent results with fewer complications compared to traditional open surgery.
