Metabolic and Renal Complications and Immunologic Implications of Laparoscopic Urologic Surgery

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Laparoscopic surgery has had a revolutionary impact on the field of urology. The benefits of decreased postoperative pain, reduced hospital stay, and faster return to work have all been well documented. The number of laparoscopic procedures performed in the United States has increased rapidly over the past few decades with increasingly more complex procedures performed in older patients with more preexisting comorbid conditions [1]. The laparoscopic surgeon must be aware of the complex physiologic consequences of laparoscopic surgery as well as the potential metabolic risks of renal surgery. A thorough understanding of the impact of laparoscopic surgery on the various body systems is necessary to effectively assess risk that a prospective laparoscopic patient may face. In this chapter our aim is to review the main metabolic and immunologic effects of laparoscopy and pneumoperitoneum.
