Abstract
Laparoscopic approach is used to treat urinary lithiasis. Pyelolithotomy and ureterolithtomy being excluded from this review, indications for laparoscopy consist in treatment of calyceal diverticula, nephrectomy and/or ureterectomy for non-functioning kidneys, or laparoscopy-assisted percutaneous nephrolithotomy in ectopic kidney, horseshoe kidney or calyceal diverticula. Laparoscopy gives the benefits of a mini-invasive treatment with reduced blood loss, pain, hospital stay and recovery. In these indications, laparoscopy is still a skillfull demanding procedure.
