Abstract:
Endourology has developed very quickly during the past decades. For transurethral therapy of diseases of lower urinary tract, it has been gradually accepted by both urologists and patients for plasmatic electrocautery resection, holmium laser and electrochemical enucleation of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Flexible ureteroscope has been widely used for examination of upper urinary tract for unknown urinary bleeding and micronephrostomy has achieved great success for percutaneous nephrolithotripsy. Laparoscope has become very popular and can be used to perform most of the operations in the field of urology.
