[Standardized positioning and trocar placement for laparoscopic interventions in urology].

Over the last few years, laparoscopy has become more common in urology. Nevertheless only a few centres carry out more than 40 laparoscopies a year. A reduction to two standard techniques has led to the simplification and time optimisation in preparation for surgery and thus to an increase in quality. Two standard positionings and trocar placements are described for all important urological laparoscopies. At the same time, operations involving the small pelvis and the retroperitoneum are differentiated.
