Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery lets the urologist operate on the kidney, ureter and adrenal gland through small cuts using a camera, instead of one large incision. Dr. Kumar Rajesh Ranjan, M.Ch (Urology), FMAS, has fellowship training in advanced laparoscopic urology and more than 500 laparoscopic urology cases.

Laparoscopic urology is keyhole surgery on the urinary tract. Through 3–4 cuts of 5–10 mm, a camera and fine instruments are used to repair a blocked kidney (pyeloplasty), remove a kidney or kidney tumour (radical, partial or simple nephrectomy), remove a kidney for donation (donor nephrectomy), and treat some ureter, adrenal and varicocele problems. Compared with open surgery it means less pain, less blood loss, smaller scars and a shorter stay. In Patna, it is performed by M.Ch, FMAS urologist Dr. Kumar Rajesh Ranjan at Satyadev Super Speciality Hospital.
