Complex Laparoscopic & Reconstructive Urology
Some urological problems need more than a standard operation — they need reconstruction. Many of these can now be carried out by keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery rather than open surgery, with smaller incisions and faster recovery, but they require a surgeon who performs a high volume of complex laparoscopic work. With more than 600 laparoscopic kidney and reconstructive operations behind me, I offer minimally invasive surgery for a number of conditions that elsewhere might still mean open surgery or onward referral.
Procedures
Laparoscopic pyeloplasty (PUJ obstruction). Keyhole reconstruction of a blocked pelviureteric junction, removing the narrowed segment and rebuilding a wide, freely draining funnel. [Link to your dedicated PUJ Obstruction & Pyeloplasty page.]
Laparoscopic deroofing of renal cysts. For a simple kidney cyst that is large or causing pain, the cyst wall is removed (deroofed) by keyhole surgery to relieve symptoms — a day-case or short-stay alternative to repeated drainage.
Laparoscopic ureteric reimplantation. Keyhole reconstruction to reconnect the ureter to the bladder, used for narrowing (stricture) of the lower ureter or for selected tumours of the lower ureter, restoring normal urine drainage.
Laparoscopic excision of a bladder diverticulum. Keyhole removal of a pouch (diverticulum) in the bladder wall that traps urine and causes infections or incomplete emptying.
Laparoscopic excision of a urachal remnant. Keyhole removal of an uncommon midline remnant between the bladder and the navel, which can become symptomatic or, rarely, harbour a tumour.
Why see Mr Neil Haldar?
These are not everyday operations, and the right surgeon is one who regularly performs complex laparoscopic reconstruction. Alongside my high-volume cancer and kidney practice, I offer these minimally invasive procedures with rapid private assessment across Buckinghamshire and the Thames Valley — and where a problem is better managed by a different subspecialist, I make sure you reach the right one.
