Laparoscopic (or “keyhole”) surgery uses small incisions, a camera (laparoscope), and specialized instruments to perform complex urological procedures inside the abdomen or pelvis.
Compared to open surgery, it offers:
✔️ Smaller incisions
✔️ Less blood loss
✔️ Minimal pain
✔️ Shorter hospital stays
✔️ Faster healing
✔️ Better cosmetic results
Dr. Ankit Vaishnav combines laparoscopic skills with robotic precision, using state-of-the-art tools for optimal results:
High-definition 3D laparoscopic visualization
Energy-based devices (Harmonic, Ligasure) for bloodless dissection
Robotic surgical system assistance (in selected cases)
Enhanced recovery protocols (ERAS) for faster discharge
Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty is a minimally invasive surgery performed to correct a blockage or narrowing (obstruction) at the junction where the kidney connects to the ureter (ureteropelvic junction or UPJ). This condition can cause pain, recurrent infections, and kidney damage. The procedure involves removing the obstructed section and reattaching the healthy ends to restore normal urine flow from the kidney to the bladder, ensuring optimal kidney function with faster recovery and minimal scarring.
Laparoscopic Adrenalectomy is a surgical procedure to remove one or both adrenal glands located above the kidneys. These glands produce vital hormones such as adrenaline, cortisol, and aldosterone. The surgery is typically performed to treat adrenal tumors (benign or malignant), adrenal hyperplasia, or hormone-producing adenomas. Being a minimally invasive technique, it offers reduced post-operative pain, shorter hospital stays, and quicker return to normal activities compared to open surgery.
Laparoscopic urology surgery offers a safer, less painful, and faster recovery alternative to traditional open surgeries. As a highly trained Urologist, Laparoscopic and Robotic Surgeon, Dr. Ankit Vaishnav brings years of expertise in performing advanced keyhole surgeries for various urological conditions. Patients can expect precision, minimal scarring, and quicker return to normal life.
Laparoscopic urology surgery is ideal for patients who require urological procedures but want minimal pain, quicker recovery, and smaller scars. You may be a candidate if you:
Have a non-functioning or diseased kidney requiring removal (nephrectomy)
Suffer from ureteropelvic junction obstruction needing pyeloplasty
Have large or impacted kidney/ureteric stones not treatable by endoscopy
Have adrenal tumors (benign or cancerous) requiring adrenalectomy
Require lymph node removal for urological cancers
Have recurrent urinary obstructions or strictures
Want a minimally invasive approach for faster return to normal life
Are unfit or at high risk for open surgery
This approach is suitable for both adults and elderly patients, offering excellent outcomes with fewer complications.
Every patient undergoes a thorough pre-operative evaluation to ensure surgical precision and safety:
Blood & urine tests
Imaging: Ultrasound, CT Scan, MRI, or IVP
Functional scans (e.g., DTPA, MAG3) for kidney health
Diagnostic endoscopy (if required)
Personalized anesthesia evaluation
Removal of a damaged or non-functioning kidney due to tumors, infections, or kidney failure.
Surgical reconstruction to correct ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction and restore urine flow from the kidney.
Minimally invasive removal of the prostate gland for prostate cancer or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), preserving surrounding structures for quicker recovery.
Removal of large or impacted kidney/ureteric stones not suitable for endoscopic surgery.
Removal of adrenal gland tumors (benign or malignant) with minimal disturbance to surrounding organs.
Treatment for vesicoureteral reflux or ureteral stricture.
For staging and treatment of urological cancers like testicular or bladder cancer.
