title: Laparoscopic ureteral surgery.
abstract: The use of laparoscopy for ureteral surgery, currently in its relative infancy, is critically reviewed here as an alternative to traditional open and endoscopic methods. The technical aspects of laparoscopic ureteral surgery, clinical and experimental experience to date, and recent advances in anastomotic and substitutive technology are discussed.
