Recent developments in technology have resulted in the application of laparoscopy in several areas of urology. To develop the technique different procedures were performed in 22 male pigs weighing 25–30 kilograms. The types of procedure included: pelvic lymphadenectomy, nephroureterectomy, orchiectomy of cryptorchid testicle.
