Abstract

Urological surgery has evolved over time and now in- cludes many major operations, sometimes with consid- erable morbidity. Procedures that were performed only in specialized centres are now considered the standard of care for many institutions all over the world. The manage- ment of renal cell carcinoma involving the inferior vena cava remains a technically challenging surgical condition, while radical pelvic surgery for bladder cancer is some- times complicated with vascular injuries. In the last few decades we have also witnessed the evolution of laparos- copy from a diagnostic tool to a sophisticated therapeutic procedure which, in several centres, is used for advanced ablative and complex reconstructive urological proce- dures. However, this evolution has been accompanied by the occurrence of new types of vascular complications during laparoscopic urological surgery.
