Complications of Minimally Invasive Surgery and Their Management

Joshua R Kaplan et al. Curr Urol Rep. 2016 Jun.

Abstract

Minimally invasive surgery, including both traditional laparoscopic and robot-assisted laparoscopic approaches, has increasingly become the standard of care for urologic abdominal and pelvic surgery. This is a comprehensive review of the contemporary literature regarding complications of laparoscopic and robotic urologic surgery. The review highlights pertinent studies with the goal of providing the minimally invasive urologic surgeon with an up-to-date overview of general and procedure-specific complications and their management.

Keywords: Laparoscopic surgery; Minimally invasive surgery; Radical cystectomy; Radical prostatectomy; Renal surgery; Robot-assisted surgery.
