Urology deals with the urine excreting (kidney), urine collecting (renal pelvis, bladder) and draining (renal tubes, urethra) systems, anatomical and functional disorders and diseases of the male external (scrotum, penis) and internal genital organs (testicles, epididymis, testicular tubes, seminal vesicles, prostate).
The majority of urological surgical procedures are laparoscopic procedures.
The advantages of laparoscopic surgery over open surgery:
- minor wound pain
- early mobilisation
- minor cosmetic discrepancy
- lower complication rate
- main types of laparoscopic procedures:
- laparoscopic prostate surgery
- laparoscopic kidney tumour removal
- removal of a kidney on one side
- depending on the tumour, it may be possible to remove only the tumorous part of the patient's kidney
- laparoscopic kidney cyst removal
- laparoscopic pyelonplastica (renal pelvic plastic surgery)
