Complications of Pure Transperitoneal Laparoscopic Surgery in Urology: The Taipei Veterans General Hospital Experience

Abstract

The complications of laparoscopic urologic surgeries are strongly correlated with the operative difficulties. In spite of elevated complication rates in difficult surgeries, the major complication rate in this study was very low. As the laparoscopic surgeries in urology involve more and more technique-dependent difficult fields, documentation and analysis of experience of complications is important for the development of this surgical modality.
