Laparoscopic Approach for Intravesical Surgery Using Pneumovesicum in Urology: Literature Review

Bum Sik Tae et al. Int Neurourol J. 2018 Jan.

Abstract

Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgical procedures are increasingly being used in the management of various urological diseases. In particular, the laparoscopic approach for intravesical surgery using pneumovesicum (LPV) is a minimally invasive alternative with potential advantages including decreased morbidity, shorter hospital stays, and improved cosmesis. We review the applications of LPV in urology, summarize data for different surgical approaches, and provide an overview of patient management, as well as other considerations. This narrative review focused primarily on articles indexed in PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Embase databases. No formal search strategy was used, and no meta-analysis of data was performed.

Keywords: Laparoscopy; Pneumovesicum; Transvesicoscopy; Urology.
