Laparoscopic Urology

Usage Areas of Laparoscopic Surgery in Urology

Radical Prostatectomy

Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, used in the treatment of prostate cancer, involves the removal of the prostate and surrounding tissues. The minimally invasive method shortens the patient's recovery time and reduces postoperative pain.

Radical Cystectomy

A major surgical operation that involves completely removing the bladder and creating an artificial bladder from the intestines in the treatment of bladder cancer. The artificial bladder that replaces the bladder maintains the urine storage function.

Radical Nephrectomy

A surgical procedure that involves removing the entire kidney and surrounding tissues in cases such as kidney cancer. It is preferred to prevent the spread of cancer. It can also be performed with laparoscopic and robotic surgical methods.

Partial Nephrectomy

This method, used in the treatment of kidney tumors, allows the removal of the part of the kidney where the tumor is located. Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy preserves the health of the kidney and results in less tissue loss.

Pyeloplasty

This surgical procedure, performed to correct obstructions in the pelvic part of the kidney, helps eliminate problems that occur in the kidney outlet. Laparoscopic pyeloplasty speeds up the healing process and carries less risk of complications.

Sacrocolpopeksi

This method, used in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse in women, provides support for the uterus and other pelvic organs. Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy offers a less invasive approach, allowing patients to quickly return to their normal lives.

Advantages of Laparoscopic Surgery

1. Minimal Invasiveness:

   • Using small incisions allows patients to experience less trauma.

2. Less Pain:

   • Less pain is felt compared to traditional open surgery, which makes pain management easier.

3. Fast Recovery Time:

   • Patients usually recover faster after surgery and are discharged sooner are made.

4. Less Scarring:

   • Small incisions leave less visible scars, providing an aesthetic advantage.

5. Shorter Hospital Stay:

   • Patients usually stay in the hospital for a shorter period after laparoscopic surgery.

6. Advanced Imaging:

   • The laparoscope magnifies the internal organs, allowing the surgeon to have a better view.

7. Less Risk of Bleeding:

   • Minimally invasive techniques reduce the risk of bleeding, increasing the safety of the surgery increases.

8. Faster Return to Normal Life:

   • The shorter recovery period after surgery allows patients to return to their normal lives faster.

Laparoscopic surgery offers an effective and safe option in the field of urology, helping patients improve their health. Faster recovery after surgery and less risk of complications provide great advantages for patients who prefer this method.
