Overview

The first comprehensive survey of laparoscopic and minimally invasive management of urologic cancers. The authors focus on surgical technique - including laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, kidney morcellation, and kidney tumor ablation - and the role of laparoscopic surgery in the management of urologic tumors. Comparing results to conventional open surgery, discussing controversies, and identifying the shortcomings of minimally invasive procedures, their reviews provide balanced insights into indications, contraindications, and outcomes.
