Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To modify laparoscopy in urology. METHOD: From May 1992 to Nov. 1996, 141 patients (110 males and 31 females) were subjected to laparoscopy in the treatment of urological diseases. The age of the patients ranged from 9 to 76 years (mean 39 years). Five patients had nephrectomy, 12 adrenalectomy, 48 renal cyst resection, 61 high ligation of internal spermatic vein, 5 pelvic staging lymphadenectomy, 9 orchiectomy, and 1 removal of bladder diverticulum. RESULT: The rate of successful operation was 95.7% and that of complications was 2.22%. The mean hospitalization was 4.9 +/- 4.1 days. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopy can be used widely in clinical practice.
