Abstract

Laparoscopy has tremendously evolved the way that urologists treat different conditions. This is mainly due to innovations in instrumentation that have led procedures to be performed efficiently and safely. As with any technical instruments and disposable equipment, there are some problems that the laparoscopic urologist must be aware of in order to manage the unusual, and sometimes serious, consequences. This chapter will discuss problems that may be encountered and potential solutions.
