Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery carries inherent advantages to the patient, including a decrease in post operative pain, shorter hospital stay, shorter convalesce and a better cosmetic result.  During the last decade, laparoscopic surgery has rapidly spread in the urological field.

Laparoscopy is successfully applied for surgery of the adrenal gland and the kidney (including cases of kidney tumors). Performing laparoscopy, instead of open surgery, for living donors increased the public willingness to donate kidneys worldwide. Reconstructive surgery of the ureter and renal pelvis is feasible and effective.

In women, the laparoscopic management of pelvic floor dysfunction offers a definitive treatment for problems such as cystocele, rectocele, uterine prolapse and associated urinary incontinence.

In men, laparoscopic radical prostatectomy may be offered for localized prostate cancer with excellent results in terms of disease control, urinary continence and preservation of erectile function.

In summary, laparoscopic urological surgery  is well established approach to many urological operations.
