Laparoscopic urologic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat various urologic conditions. This surgery involves using a laparoscope, a long, thin tube with a camera and light source attached, to perform the surgery through small incisions in the abdomen.

How is it performed?

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.
