What is Laparoscopic Urology?

Laparoscopic urology involves performing urological surgeries through small keyhole incisions using a camera (laparoscope) and specialized instruments. Dr. Pragnesh Desai is highly experienced in laparoscopic urology, offering patients a minimally invasive alternative to open surgery.
