 AB    During 14 months more than 300 endoscopic interventions were performed
       by video-control only: 160 TUR of prostate, 37 TUR of bladder-tumours, 7
       ureteroscopies, 17 manipulations with bladder stones and stents, 9
       sight-urethrotomies, 72 diagnostic cystoscopies, 2 percutaneous
       nephrolithotripsies and 12 laparoscopic interventions. Technical
       requirement is a light and rotatable camera, preferably a monitor
       mounted over the patient and a self-adjusting light-source. The
       advantages are better identification of tissue, the use where there is
       limited mobility of the patient's hip joint and the possibility of
       demonstration and documentation. The urologist's face is protected
       against blood contact (HIV-prophylaxis), and he is taking care of his
       spine. It is the best way of instruction for the learning urologist and
       even a good training for laparoscopic surgery.
