3D LAPROCOPIC Surgery in URO Oncology

Laproscopic 3D surgery is a type of surgery that has the same advantages as conventional Laparoscopy without incisions. Surgery is performed through small holes but with 3D vision. This three dimensional view facilitates surgery especially when performing complex movements such as sutures.

PROCEDURES:

3D LAPROSCOPIC SURGERY is for practically all Laparoscopic oncological procedures of the Kidneys,Prostate and Bladder.It is also very useful for the surgery of benign processes of the kidneys and urinary tract such as stones and malformations as well as the correction of prolapse of the pelvic organs in woman.

The procedures that we do via conventional Laparoscopy and in 3D are:

• Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy:or removal of the Prostate and seminal vesicles in Prostate Cancer.
• Laparoscopic radical and partial nephrectomy:consists of the removal of the entire kidney or the tumor nodule when it is smaller and in a more peripheral location.
• Radical Cystectomy with Laparoscopic lymphadenectomy:it is the complete removal of urinary bladder and pelvic nodes for bladder cancer.This intervention is associated with a reconstruction that requires the use of intestinal segments.
• Laparoscopic pyeloplasty :consists of the repair of a malformation of the urinary tract that causes an obstruction in the elimination of the urine at the kidney level.
• Laparoscopic ureterolithotomy

And pyelolithotomy:or removal of stones in the ureter or kidney that cannot be ruptured endoscopically or with

extracorporeal lithotripsy.

• Laparoscopic colposacropexy:or correction of pelvic organ prolapses (bladder, vaginal vault and rectum) using meshes that are fixed to the pelvis.

ADVANTAGES:

  The advantages of Laparoscopic surgery conventional and 3D over classical open surgery are:

• Faster recovery without major injuries.
• Decreased blood loss during surgery. The need for blood transfusions is very low.
• Increased precision thanks to the magnification of the image which allow us to appreciate a greater details of the anatomy.
