Book a consultationWhat is it?
Laparoscopic surgery is an advanced surgical technique that allows access to internal organs through small incisions, usually 5 to 12 mm, using a high-definition camera and specialized instruments, without the need for large openings.
Conditions we treat
Prostate, kidney, bladder, and testicular cancer. Adrenal gland surgery. Urinary tract reconstructions. Living kidney donation. Varicocele surgery and complex retroperitoneal procedures.
How it works
The surgeon makes small incisions through which a camera and instruments are inserted. The magnified image allows millimetric precision that better preserves nerve and vascular structures, resulting in fewer complications and better recovery.
Benefits
- Small incisions (superior cosmetic result)
- Less postoperative pain
- Shorter hospital stay
- Less blood loss
- Faster recovery
- Early return to work
Recovery
Short hospital stay of 1 to 3 days depending on the procedure. Return to daily activities within one to two weeks, with personalized postoperative follow-up.
