title: Laparoscopic surgery in urology: nephrectomy and prostatectomy.
abstract: Urological laparoscopic techniques have received great attention in the past decade. With the development of improved laparoscopic instrumentation, approaches to kidney and prostatic diseases have been successfully performed. Laparoscopic nephrectomy and prostatectomy are discussed. Awareness of these evolving technologies is critical for all surgeons with an interest in laparoscopy.
