ABSTRACT

Implementation and development of laparoscopic video surgery in the Urology specialty have revolutionized most surgical techniques and they have proven their effectiveness over time. At present, practically any urological surgery has its laparoscopic counterpart, even complex oncological and reconstructive ones. The case of a 70-year-old female patient is reported. She had a health history until several months ago when she noticed a volume increase at the level of the right hemiabdomen associated with back pain colic. It was diagnosed partitioned kidney cyst and a resection of the right cyst was performed through a laparoscopic way. The patient evolved satisfactorily, which supports the use of this surgical technique, that marks the beginning of laparoscopic urological surgery in the Villa Clara Province.
