title: [Laparoscopic surgery in urologic oncology].
abstract: Laparoscopic management of urological malignancies is a fast-growing field. From nephrectomy to prostatectomy, the laparoscopic approach has been tried for all forms of surgical ablation for urological cancers. It is associated with less blood loss, lower transfusion requirements, less post-operative pain and a shorter hospital stay. The rates of metastasis, pelvic carcinosis and tumoral on the trocar path appear to be no higher than after open surgery. Provided the general rules of oncologic surgery are respected, laparoscopy is safe and effective in the management of urological malignancies.
