Abstract
Introduction: Laparoscopy, known as keyhole surgery, involves conducting surgical procedures through small incisions, typically ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 centimetres, utilizing specialized telescopic equipment. The laparoscope, a crucial component of this technique, comprises a thin tube equipped with a camera and lenses. Compared to traditional open incision surgery, laparoscopic procedures offer various advantages, including reduced risk of complications such as lung infections and blood clots, mainly through early mobilization.
Objective: This study aims to assess the efficacy of laparoscopy in urological surgery, explicitly focusing on benign pathologies. A comprehensive literature review seeks to determine how much laparoscopic techniques can be successfully employed in urological procedures.
Methodology: Utilizing the Medline and Lilacs databases, relevant studies were selected for a comprehensive literature review. Qualitative analysis of the compiled data was conducted to evaluate the benefits of laparoscopic surgery in treating benign urological pathologies.
Findings: The review revealed several advantages of laparoscopic surgery in urological procedures for benign pathologies. These include reduced bleeding, decreased operational morbidity, shorter hospital stays, lower postoperative pain, improved aesthetic outcomes, and quicker return to normal activities. These findings underscore the potential of laparoscopy to enhance patient outcomes and recovery in urological surgery.
Discussion: The discussion explores the implications of the identified benefits of laparoscopic surgery in urological procedures. It highlights the potential of laparoscopy to minimize surgical complications and improve patient satisfaction and quality of life.
Conclusion: In conclusion, laparoscopic surgery presents numerous advantages in treating benign urological pathologies. By reducing bleeding, minimizing morbidity, and facilitating faster recovery, laparoscopy offers significant benefits over traditional open surgery techniques. Furthermore, the findings suggest that laparoscopic surgery may be particularly beneficial for specific patient populations, such as Islamic Witnesses, who have a lower incidence of bleeding and reduced need for transfusions.
