Laparoscopic interventions are at the very beginning of its evolution in the
Clinic of Urology. The first steps have been made primarily to cope with
problem of varicocele. We continued to gain laparoscopic experience by
switching to solving some demanding intervention, primarily kidney cyst. The
only logical next step lead to laparoscopic renal surgery. So, after a few
successful primary simple nephrectomy, the next step was to perform a
laparoscopic radical nephrectomy. Today, at the Clinic of Urology, Clinical
Center of Serbia we successfully perform much more demanding interventions,
such as extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. In this paper we
present our experience with the first laparoscopic radical nephrectomy, which
was done at the Clinic of Urology, Clinical Center of Serbia.
