Minimally Invasive & Robotic Urologic Surgery in Kuala Lumpur
Precision Techniques · Faster Recovery · Smaller Scars
Minimally invasive and robotic-assisted urology surgeries offer patients faster recovery, smaller incisions, and reduced pain compared to traditional open procedures. These techniques are ideal for managing conditions such as kidney obstruction, prostate cancer, urinary tract reconstruction, and complex urinary stone disease.
When suitable, Dr. Roger employs advanced options like laparoscopic and robotic surgery to ensure surgical precision while preserving organ function and improving patient outcomes.
This section includes key surgical options for treating kidney obstruction, cancer, urinary tract reconstruction, and complex stone disease — often performed through keyhole or robotic approaches.
Conditions Suitable for Minimally Invasive or Robotic Urologic Surgery
Kidney or ureteric stones that are too large or impacted for endoscopic removal
Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) causing urinary flow blockage
Kidney, ureteric, or adrenal gland tumors requiring surgical removal
Ureteric strictures or traumatic ureteral injuries
Recurrent ureteric obstruction or narrowing
Large, complex, or staghorn kidney stones
Localized prostate cancer requiring robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy
Key Minimally Invasive & Robotic Services
Laparoscopic Nephrectomy
Minimally invasive removal of a non-functioning or diseased kidney using keyhole incisions. Commonly performed for kidney cancer, severe infection, or significant loss of kidney function — offering faster recovery and reduced scarring.
Robotic-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy
Robotic surgery for prostate cancer designed to enhance precision and protect nerves responsible for urinary and sexual function. Recommended for selected cases to ensure optimal cancer control and recovery.
Robotic Pyeloplasty
A robotic procedure to correct ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO), improving urine flow from kidney to bladder. Offers excellent long-term outcomes with less pain and shorter hospital stays.
Robotic Ureteric Reconstruction
Advanced surgical repair for ureteric strictures, trauma, or reimplantation using robotic-assisted techniques — combining surgical precision with the benefits of minimally invasive access.
Mini-PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy)
A keyhole approach to remove large or complex kidney stones. Uses small instruments, continuous suction, and high-powered laser for effective stone clearance, faster recovery, and lower bleeding risk compared to traditional PCNL.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
– Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are the benefits of minimally invasive surgery?
Smaller incisions and scars
Less postoperative pain
Shorter hospital stays
Quicker return to daily activities
Lower risk of complications in eligible cases
These benefits make minimally invasive and robotic urological surgery a preferred choice for many patients.
2. What’s the difference between laparoscopic and robotic surgery?
Both are forms of minimally invasive surgery. Robotic surgery uses advanced wristed instruments and 3D magnified imaging, offering greater precision and control — ideal for delicate urological procedures such as prostate or ureteric surgery. Laparoscopy uses straight instruments and may be better suited for certain kidney or stone-related cases.
3. Is robotic surgery better than open surgery?
In the right patient and experienced hands, robotic surgery can provide better visualization, reduced blood loss, nerve-sparing techniques, and quicker recovery. It is especially beneficial in prostate cancer surgery, ureteric reconstruction, and pelvic procedures.
4. Will I need a long hospital stay after robotic or laparoscopic surgery?
Most patients are discharged within 1–2 days. Selected procedures, like mini-PCNL or straightforward laparoscopic surgeries, may even allow for next-day discharge.
5. Are these minimally invasive procedures safe?
Yes — when performed by trained surgeons, these procedures are safe and effective, with low complication rates and favorable long-term outcomes.
6. Is robotic surgery covered by insurance in Malaysia?
Coverage varies depending on your insurance provider and policy terms. It’s best to check with your insurer or the hospital’s billing department for procedure-specific coverage details.
