Abstract

Endourology is the standard of care in the contemporary management of urolithiasis. However, in certain special situations, laparo­scopic stone surgery offers a minimally inva­sive option to achieve stone-free status rapidly. With the laparoscopic approach, most series have shown a high stone-free rate in a single setting. This highlights the limited yet impor­tant role of laparoscopy in providing a mini­mally invasive alternative in the management of urinary stones. Laparoscopy for stone sur­gery is a challenging procedure and requires advanced laparoscopic skills in achieving suc­cessful outcomes. In this chapter, we discuss the role of laparoscopy in urolithiasis, various procedures performed with specific indica­tions, technical tips and published outcomes of individual procedures.
