Laparoscopy in Urology

  Laparoscopic techniques were first applied to urology by Cortessi in 1976 with the first laparoscopic exploration of bilateral cryptorchidism, but the development of urological laparoscopic techniques remained stagnant for more than a decade because the organs of the urinary system and male internal genital organs were mostly located in the retroperitoneum and deep pelvis, making laparoscopic urological surgery more difficult. It was only after the first laparoscopic nephrectomy performed via the abdominal route by Clayman in 1990 that this technique developed significantly. More and more urologists are using laparoscopy to perform surgery. With the development and maturity of the technology, laparoscopy is now widely used in all kinds of urological organ resection and reconstruction surgery, which has become an inevitable trend in the development of urological surgery because of its advantages such as less trauma and faster postoperative recovery of patients.
