The final stage of the laparoscopic procedure: exploring final steps

Abstract: INTRODuCTIONUrologic surgery continues to evolve focusing efforts on adequate treatment of pathologic urologic conditions in a safe and minimally invasive manner (1).Laparoscopic surgery has well defined benefits for the patient and has, over time, become accepted as a standard of care access strategy for the management of benign and malignant Urologic diseases. Despite significant advances in laparoscopic technique and technologies, laparoscopic Urologic surgery remains technically demanding. Unlike open surg… Show more

“…Therefore, most surgeons do not perform port-site suturing because of the difficulties encountered. Recommendations for when laparoscopic fascial wound closure should be considered and conventional closure techniques have been well reported by La Chapelle and colleagues on behalf of a Dutch Minimally Invasive Surgery multidisciplinary guideline development group [11] and by Natalin et al [38]. Techniques for closing port-site wounds include direct closure with retractors, laparoscopic closure with suture retrievers, subcuticular continuous suturing, and the use of tissue adhesives, skin tapes, or hemostats [1,11,12,25,38].…”

“…Retroperitoneal laparoscopy for renal surgery is a viable alternative to transperitoneal access. In spite of various significant advances in laparoscopy technologies, laparoscopic urologic surgery remains technically demanding regarding various surgical steps including the challenge of specimen retrieval and extraction [ 1 ]. The indications for open renal surgery to treat renal calculi are limited to special situations; it is needed in only 0.47% to 5.4% of the cases [ 2 ].…”
