Laparoscopic Surgeries

Less Invasive Laparoscopic Urology Surgical Procedures

The laparoscope is a specialized instrument that allows us to operate through much smaller incisions. That means less scarring and a faster recovery for most patients, not to mention greater precision during surgery. Urology surgeons at Orange County Urology Associates frequently perform laparoscopic procedures, including:

Laparoscopic radical da Vinci nephrectomy (total kidney and renal cell cancer removal)
Laparoscopic simple nephrectomy (kidney removal due to chronic infection, obstruction, calculus or severe trauma)
Laparoscopic nephroureterectomy (kidney and ureter removal)
Laparoscopic renal cyst ablation (removal of benign cysts from the kidneys)
Laparoscopic da Vinci robotic prostatectomy (treatment for prostate cancer)

The benefits of minimally invasive surgery

Laparoscopic surgery is also called minimally invasive surgery (MIS), bandaid surgery and keyhole surgery. It’s a modern surgical technique in which we perform operations through small incisions (usually 0.5–1.5 cm) as opposed to the larger incisions needed for traditional open surgery. Laparoscopy uses images displayed on a TV monitor to magnify field of view and the surgical elements.

There are a number of benefits to the patient with laparoscopic surgery versus so-called “open” procedures. These benefits include reduced pain from much smaller incisions, reduced bleeding and scarring, and shorter recovery times.

Our laparoscopic surgery patients come to us from Lake Forest, Huntington Beach, Laguna Hills, Irvine and Mission Viejo in Orange County, CA.

Testimonials

“The office, staff and doctors are absolutely wonderful. They are very caring. The staff makes you feel very comfortable and they are very helpful. Dr. Spitz is a great doctor. It’s a great group.”

“Not only was O.C. Urology professional, they went out of their way to make sure I had a good reaction when taking care of my problem. They gave great care and followed up when necessary.”

“This is my first visit to this office. The staff and employees are friendly and accommodating. My first visit I felt so relaxed, because of the friendly environment. Dr. Tebyani was so friendly and honest. He would advise patients on only what is necessary. He is more after the well-being of the patient instead of their wallet. I would definitely recommend this office to anyone who needs medical help. Thanks.”

Dr. Moses Kim, MD, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of OCUA, explains how he now performs prostate removal with one incision instead of 5 or 6.
