The use of laparoscopy and robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery is rapidly increasing and has gained widespread acceptance for many urological surgeries in children. Diagnostic laparoscopy for undescended testis, nephrectomy, heminephrectomy, varicocelectomy, pyeloplasty, and ureteral reimplantation are some of the indications which are commonly being performed.
In this recording, the basic principles of laparoscopy in children as well as the basic laparoscopy skills will be discussed with the experts in the field.
