Abstract

Laparoscopy in pediatric urology is a rapidly evolving field that is becoming part of the operative repertoire of an increasing number of pediatric urologists. This article summarizes the latest ideas and issues in the expanding field of laparoscopy in pediatric urology. New methods of obtaining laparoscopic access and retraction are discussed. Laparoscopic experiences in urologic reconstruction, diagnosis and treatment of the nonpalpable testis, renal surgery, ureteral reimplantation, varicocelectomy, hydrocelectomy, and herniorrhaphy are reviewed. Articles assessing the safety of a pneumoperitoneum in patients with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt are also discussed.
