ABSTRACT

Vesicoscopy is an elegant minimally invasive technique applying the principles of laparoscopic surgery to the bladder. The suprapubic percutaneous transluminal route allows a variety of procedures that would otherwise not be accessible via transurethral endoscopic surgery. In this chapter, we will describe our experience with vesicoscopic procedures in female patients and explain the most common indications for such procedures. We will critically discuss the use of vesicoscopy as reported in the literature and conclude with the future of vesicoscopy.
