Laparascopic Urological Surgery

Laparoscopy is a technique for operating inside your abdomen through small incisions. Small incisions help you recover faster after surgery, with less pain. A slender, lighted wand-like tool called a laparoscope is used. It connects to a tiny camera, which sends pictures to a video screen. Other slender tools are used to perform the surgery.

During the procedure an IV line gives you fluids and medications while a tube (catheter) drains your bladder. The laparoscope and surgical instruments are placed through three to five small incisions that are made in your abdomen. Your surgeon sees and operates by watching pictures from the laparoscope on a video screen.
