Laparoscopic surgery in urology is in a testing and development phase. The technique is currently used by some urologists to evaluate non-palpable testes and to perform varicocelectomy or pelvic lymphadenectomy. Other standard open surgical procedures are experimentally being performed with the laparoscope. Owing to technological advances laparoscopic surgery might become a part of routine urological care. We review the current impact of laparoscopy on urology, we emphasise the advantages but also the risks of this new approach, and discuss the benefit of these technical feats.
泌尿外科的腹腔镜手术正处于试验和发展阶段。目前，一些泌尿外科医生使用该技术来评估不可触及的睾丸，并进行精索静脉曲张切除术或盆腔淋巴结清扫术。其他标准的开放手术也正在通过腹腔镜进行试验。由于技术进步，腹腔镜手术可能会成为泌尿外科常规治疗的一部分。我们回顾了腹腔镜手术目前对泌尿外科的影响，强调了这种新方法的优点和风险，并讨论了这些技术成果的益处。
