Abstract

In recent months, laparoscopy has been used for such urological procedures as varicocelectomy, pelvic lymph node dissection and even nephrectomy. It would appear that laparoscopic surgery is going to make an important contribution to the field of endourology. In order to assess the current status and value of laparoscopic techniques to urologists, we have reviewed the history of laparoscopy in general and urologic laparoscopy in particular.
