Laparoscopy is a procedure where CO2 is insufflated into abdomen and surgery is performed by inserting a video-camera and special endoscopic instruments through a number of holes. Similar principles as open surgery are implemented, and general anesthesia is mandatory.
In Urology we perform laparoscopic surgery for a limited size of renal cancers.
After preoperative evaluation laparoscopic surgery is performed and patient is brought back to his room if intensive care is not necessary and discharged on 3rd postoperative day. Wound healing is fast and comfortable in laparoscopic surgery because there is no incision as compared to open surgery.
